Along the same lines as "This sentence is for you . . ."
If you can draw blood from your fingertips without lancing them first . . .
. . . you just might be diabetic.
If you are frequently asked "Should you be eating that?" . . .

If you have a special stash of sweets at work for pick-me-ups, and not from the 3pm slump....
If you have ever wondered "hey.. wonder what my cat would do if I just quickly pricked their paw and tested their bg just once....
If you ever had to explain what a bolus was.....
If you ever had explain why you are acting like a raged animal in a food store/gas station/mega mart at the vending machine/candy isle when you are downing sugar as fast as you can to prevent "falling out"....
When "falling out" means something other than a fight or your boobs falling out of your bra cups....

If you have your endo home and cell phone numbers on speed dial... you just might be diabetic.
