In other words turn these "events"/ "instances" into jokes by looking at everything from a different perspective ---- be creative & turn all the petty annoyances re diabetes & it's somewhat endless management into jokes----it kind of puts everything into a positive perspective.....!!!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
