You get excited about blood test meters/pumps etc and the different functions that they have
You say that you feel ‘high’ in public and then wonder why people around you give you weird looks
You think non diet coke tastes completely disgusting
You notice a friend has been drinking and peeing a lot and you want to test their BG level as you automatically assume they must be an undiagnosed diabetic
You know what the terms HbA1C, diabetic ketoacidosis, glucagon, basal/bolus, and endocrinologist mean
You know the amount of carbohydrates in pretty much every food available
You have a favorite flavor of glucose tablets
You get annoyed when you are in a bad mood and someone tells you to test your sugar
You get fed up of explaining to people that you are allowed to eat things with sugar in as long as you eat them in moderation and correctly bolus for them
Your parents ask how you’re doing and you tell them your blood sugar
You find test strips in really random places (how do they get everywhere anyway...I'm sure they have legs )
You think it’s funny seeing the look on people’s faces when you test or inject in public
Ok folks, what do you want to add?
