🎅The Ultimate Type 1 Diabetes Christmas Playlist!🎅
Ah, Christmas—the most wonderful time of the year, where the air is filled with joy, the fridge is stocked with insulin, and the carb counts of every homemade treat are anyone's guess. For those of us living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), the season comes with its own unique soundtrack. So why not sing along to our T1D-inspired Christmas Greatest Hits?
2. Jingle Beeps
🎵 “Jingle beeps, jingle beeps,
Beeping all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to hear,
My sensor save the day!” 🎵
3. I'm Dreaming of a Low-Free Christmas
🎵 “I’m dreaming of a low-free Christmas,
Just like the ones I know,
Where my blood sugar’s bright,
And my levels stay right,
All through the day and night.” 🎵
4. Have Yourself a Merry Little Correction
🎵 “Have yourself a merry little correction,
Let your blood sugar be right.
From now on, your numbers will be manageable,
And you’ll sleep through the night.” 🎵
5. Insulin Wonderland
🎵 “Syringes glistening, highs are listening,
In the fridge, insulin's glistening,
A beautiful sight, just bolus it right,
Living in an insulin wonderland!” 🎵
6. We Wish You a Merry Bolus
🎵 “We wish you a merry bolus,
We wish you a merry bolus,
We wish you a merry bolus,
And a steady blood sugar!” 🎵
7. Silent Night
🎵 “Silent night, we did it right,
Blood sugar steady and bright,
No highs or lows,
Just calm and slow,
A perfect Christmas night.” 🎵
8. The Twelve Days of Diabetes
🎵 “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
A new insulin pump!
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Two vials of Humalog,
And a new insulin pump.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Three lancets poking,
Two vials of Humalog,
And a new insulin pump.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Four juice boxes spilling,
Three lancets poking,
Two vials of Humalog,
And a new insulin pump.
(And so on, adding more diabetes essentials each day up to the twelfth day!)” 🎵
9. Let It Low, Let It Low, Let It Low
🎵 “Oh, my blood glucose dropping is frightful,
But this juice tastes so delightful,
There's no better way for now,
Let it low, let it low, let it low!” 🎵
10. Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is a Cure
🎵 “I don’t want a lot for Christmas,
There is just one thing I need,
I don’t care about the presents,
Underneath the Christmas tree.
More than you could ever know,
Make my wish come true,
All I want for Christmas is a cure.” 🎵
For millions of families, a cure would be the ultimate gift. Until that day comes, we keep laughing, bolusing, and living our best lives—one carb at a time.
Whether you're managing diabetes, supporting someone who is, or just spreading awareness, we hope this playlist brings a smile to your face and a little extra holiday cheer.
Happy Holidays from our T1D family to yours!
