You know you're a diabetic when...

My faves from a brilliant facebook group:

  1. You have test strips all over you purse, car, and bedroom (funny coz it's so true! opened my handbag the other day and had about 6 of them fly out, nice one)
  2. You think it’s funny seeing the look on people’s faces when you give an injection in a public restroom (restroom? I just do it at the table, am relatively discreet so only get caught now and then ;-)
  3. You use being low as an excuse when you do something dumb, but get extremely offended if you're in a bad mood and someone tells you to test your sugar (SO SO true! get highly offended when in non-sugar related bad mood and asked if I shouldn't be testing my sugar levels)
  4. You get incredibly tired of having to explain to people 'no I don't have the same thing as your 800 pound grandma...' (especially if you're type 1) (ok, choking I'm laughing so hard - I usually get the old "ooohhh, yes, my cousin/aunt/friend's brother's ex-ex girlfriend's sister DIED of/had a toe amputated because of that!" NICE conversation starter)

Laughter is brilliant, so grateful for it!!
