Heh heh, no. Most diabetics are known for poor healing abilities (a
cut may last for weeks or more). As for me, I get one cold every year
to year-and-a-half. That's it. Any cuts I get (and I get plenty when
I'm working on the bikes) heal up quickly, without any special
ointments or bandages. I've never gotten any infections, either.
The downside to this immune system, is that a few doctors believe it
was precisely that which caused the diabetes in the first place (the
immune system attacked the pancreas,etcetera). So I guess there's a
trade-off. :/
As for X-men? I'm looking forward to the third movie next month!
The first two were a lot of fun.
