Okay so this is a question and a discussion topic....
Does anyone else feel like the get bit by mosquitoes way more than their friends?
I think it's because we're diabetic and have sweet sugary blood that attracts them more.
Cause ever since I have been diagnosed I get bit twice as much as all my friends.

I have thought of this before too. Only, I don't get bitten, it is always my husband who is getting bitten and he is not diabetic!
I have wondered if diabetes had anything to do with it.....
I always say "their eating me alive !!!" and people look at me like I'm weird. I get bitten by mosquitoes like it's their mission to make me miserable, lol. Like Alyssa, I'm allergic so they swell pretty big sometimes and itch like crazy.
i get bitten a lot. but i dont think i have it that bad because my friends brother, he said he was bitten in his butt-crack!

I actually never get bit. My parents think it's cause the insulin acts as a sort of repelent! Lol

At my diabetes camp I went to,they told us that they bite more when you're blood sugar is high because it's sweeter.
But I never get bit either :s
