You wouldn’t believe the weird queries that bring people to diabetes websites. Or maybe you would. If you write a blog yourself, and have ever checked the search terms, I’m sure you’ve had a chuckle. Among my favorite recent search terms for landing here at the ‘Mine are:
“fun facts about the immune system”
“glucose guiness”
and
“he didn’t have medical id”
For your National Diabetes Month reading pleasure, I thought it might be fun to find out what the top terms are for the official website of the American Diabetes Association, which gets about a half a million unique visitors a month, according to compete.com. Thanks much to ADA Communications Manager Dayle Kern for sharing this info!
And now, without further ado, the ADA’s Top 10 list of search terms within diabetes.org thus far for 2010, in countdown format:
Number 10) glycemic index
Number 9) diet
Number 8 ) symptoms
Number 7) gestational diabetes
Number 6) a1c
Number 5) tour de cure
Number 4) step out
Number 3) hypoglycemia
Number 2) guidelines
And… drumroll please… the No. 1 search term on the No. 1 diabetes website on the planet is…
Number 1) chicken !!!
Wha…? Who says Americans are strictly “meat and potatoes” people? Or something like that. Tell me, Friends: what do YOU think it means?!
“Chicken”: how people feel about the idea of pricking themselves and forcing themselves to bleed multiple times a day, injecting medications into themselves, and dealing with all of those complications the alarmist mass media try to insist ALWAYS go hand-in-glove with diabetes.
That’s it. I’m changing my byline to:

Now with more chicken
Considering I find chicken to be foul* and have eschewed it for almost a decade, I find that quite funny.
*Bad white meat pun
I think some person wrote a spambot that searched “chicken” 100000000 times.
