In case you didn't get the memo: Yes, those of us with diabetes CAN eat ice cream. Even though some outside the diabetes community don't think so, and they try to convince us we can't or shouldn't, the fact remains that an ice cream sundae or vanilla waffle cone every once in a while isn't going to kill us.

Even though some outside the diabetes community don’t think so, and they try to convince us we can’t or shouldn’t, the fact remains that an ice cream sundae or vanilla waffle cone every once in a while isn’t going to kill us. It’s not the cause of any type of diabetes, either, and we’re not promoting unhealthy eating by enjoying some ice cream on a special occasion. That was the message last summer, when the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) lit up in response to an Indianapolis newspaper columnist’s published rant that diabetics can’t or shouldn’t eat ice cream — and that any organization using ice cream to raise money to send children with diabetes to camp has sold its soul to the devil. Yes, he actually wrote that. And we in the DOC responded. Loudly. Far and wide. (The newspaper has since removed the article – !)

With all the buzz last year in response to this event, the DYFI has decided to take this “ice cream awareness” to the next level. (Note that after my posts last year about the ice cream social, the highest-ranking search phrase that still brings people to my personal blog regularly is some variation of, “Can diabetics eat ice cream?” My answer, if it isn’t already obvious: YES, you CAN!) The DYFI is planning to expand the reach of our event’s success and use this ice cream social to target misconceptions and misinformation, especially in the press and media. We’re working to place articles about diabetes in local newspapers ahead of time, and we’ll have at least one PWD on site all morning and afternoon to talk with media about diabetes. Plus, fellow D-Blogger and advocate Kelly Kunik offered a suggestion about having a “diabetes cheat sheet” on site for people to grab and the scoopers will be dishing out some phrases at the booths: “Yes, we CAN eat ice cream!”, “Check your blood sugar, count your carbs and enjoy some ice cream!”, and “Diabetes Myth: Sugar and ice cream don’t cause diabetes!” But, there’s more — and it involves the DOC!! The DYFI’s executive director Jenna Holt, a fellow type 1 herself, created an online ice cream social event to coincide with the actual event happening in Indy. Basically, people can sign up on the Facebook page for this Ice Cream Social to Support Diabetes and participate that same day, by eating ice cream and then taking a picture and posting it to the page! It’s open for everyone, anywhere, in hopes of raising awareness about PWDs being able to eat ice cream (and have normal lives).

These ice cream socials are just two events aimed at raising awareness about diabetes and fighting misconceptions, and it’s exciting to join with others who are doing the same! That’s what this is all about: using our collective voices to hit these issues where they’re needed. So, I know at least once this summer I’ll be grabbing a spoon and enjoying a sundae. I hope you’ll join me (get ready to dose!). Head on over to the Ice Cream Social pages online and sign up – the DYFI’s Ice Cream To Support Diabetes on Friday and Lizmari’s Second Annual Ice Cream Social on Aug. 4. Then just plan on enjoying your favorite cone or dish and sharing the experience with everyone! Hopefully, we can again spread the word that when it comes to people with diabetes eating ice cream…
