FAQ:
Do you both have diabetes?: No, just L.W., but D-Zome is a friend of diabetics everywhere.
How long has L.W. had diabetes?: Since June 27, 2000
Do you like the insulin pump?: Yes, I recommend it.
What is your A1c?: 6.3
What is your favorite glucose tab flavor?: Fruit Punch
Can you get diabetes from being bitten by the "beetis bird"?: No.


***DISCLAIMER: if a diabetic goes into a hyperglycemic coma, do not give him/her a glucagon shot. you will kill them. the glucagon is for LOW blood sugar, not high. we were just making a rap joke saying that up is down and down is up.

The boys from IA are at it again with another rap parody! This beat from "independent" tells you all about L.W.'s medical problem. Edited and Directed by Luke Widbin. Video by Derrick Rensink, Drew Zomermaand, and Luke Widbin.
