When you look at the meal served on the plane and you don't see it as fettucine alfredo, a bread roll, juice and cake. You see it as starch, with a side of starch, accompanied by high-carb fluids, followed by starch and sugar.
When someone says "That's BS" and you think what has blood sugar got to do with it
When you stop intimacy to check your blood sugar.
When you realize the next morning you've left the refrigeraor door open all night after a low.
Love this post! So funny. haha :)

When you reach into your cabinet to get something & your new neighbor see's your syringes, & You have to say "oh I am a diabetic, not a junky." lololol
You know you're diabetic when - You open your dyer & test strips fall out. lol

you know your diabetic when it doesn't shock you that you just drove around in circles five times in a parking garage and didn't realize it because your blood sugar was low.

You know you're a diabetic when you buy a crate of Sweet Tarts for the lows... and feel the need to explain this to the cashier at the dollar store, expecting them to realize that yes, diabetics DO need sugar...

lol yeah, I usually get weird looks when I buy skittles and test strips at the same time.

You know your a diabetic when you grab the food packages from your friends and tell them how many carbs it has and you say you will stick with your sugar free jello cups with tons of coolwhip cause it has very few carbs.

You know you are a diabetic when you get a glass and fill it with water and your mom asks if your sugar is high and now wants to see what your BG's have been for the day. CRAP! bad day to skip checking it.

... as a teacher, a mom of a new student tears up because you are OK with him checking his BG in class and you already have a stash of glucose tablets and snacks he can have when needed.
