I'm glad there's a "Beyond Tiki" forum so that I can post the following question:

Are you into Tiki and Diabetic?...A Tiki-betic!
I am - Type 1: Insulin Dependent.

So yes, I'm bummed that I CAN'T indulge in a Mai Tai, Blue Hawaiian, Navy Grog etc., like my fellow TC'ers. Yes, I'm bummed and can't have the Hawaiian Ribs smothered with all that rich, sugary sauce. Yes, I'm bummed I can't have a whole loaf of warm King's Hawaiian Bread all to myself. Actually, it's a pain in the ass being diabetic.

So, what do I have? Well, fortunately, milking a Martini, or DIET COKE and (a little) Rum, are ok for me. For some (lucky) reason, a little Vodka or Rum doesn't affect my blood sugar level. Usually, I'm the designated driver, and you'll usually find me clicking pictures of all you silly intoxicated people at the gatherings!

So anyone else a Tiki-betic?
