Don't ever believe anyone who says diabetes is contagious. It was a childhood myth we all loved to nurse in our stupid noggins. Nick didn't spread the disease, but classmates had spread the scuttlebutt that this lone fella was sick and therefore, we should all keep a wide berth. In reality, diabetes is truly safe - at least, to us who ate Oreos and spaghetti and didn't have diabetics in our families, nor lived with diabetic patients.
