You know you're a diabetic when you're constantly called a math geek by others who are completely oblivious to the fact you are actually "counting" for a health reason!

You are constantly on the watch for new and improved pumps, pens, syringes, meters, and other devices.
Getting those devices is more exciting than that new car you just got.

You go to have your blood drawn and point to the exact location of where the needle should be introduced.

You can draw your OWN blood.

It's XMAS eve and you're sitting here typing in this forum.

You use snow instead of ice to numb your pump site because it's more ecologically friendly.

When you look at the floor in your laundry room and strewn throughout are used test strips~

When your kids know how to check your blood and fight over who gets to help Mommy change her pump sight.

Which reminds me ... a diabetes educator recently told me that they've stopped using oranges to let people practice giving insulin shots because some people think you're supposed to EAT THE ORANGE! Instead, this educator suggests you shoot into a wadded up washcloth. But what if a new diabetic uses that to WASH HER FACE?!!!
