Last year, at age 23 (what is it with 23?), Andrew found out that he had Type 2 Diabetes… He had a really hard time dealing with it, but writes that getting this glucose molecule tattoo helped a lot. It was done by Kevin at Crescent Moon in Moncton.

The first thing I saw was “ho ho ho”, widely recognised as the chemical formula for Santa. It makes sense that it be similar to glucose.

not to be a dick, but the molecular formula for glucose is C6 H12 O6…I don’t see any carbon….even if one assumes that the carbon is in the unlabeled junctures (kinks) that still only makes 5 carbons, and there are only 5 hydrogens shown…

it is the beta formation.. the 6th carbon along with that Hydrogen molecule are all in the bend that is behind the main chain of the molecule.

I stand corrected…I just remember drawing sugar molecules in High school, and I guess my teacher never touched on Beta formations…sorry

I thought about something like this. I was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 13. I also thought about getting a pancreas shooting itself in the head. But, seriously I should get “medical alert” type tattoo with my allergies.
