You know you're are diabetic when you consider making art with your used strips...and your family knows you're serious. |

You know you are a Diabetic when you have such tough callouses on your fingers from testing that you can pick up a guitar and play it after 10 years and your fingers don't hurt from the strings!! |

Your foot falls asleep and everyone assumes it's neuropathy. |

I let out a teeny tiny moan in my sleep and my wife sits up in bed and says "Are you OK? Is your sugar low? Please test now, just in case." |

AaronS replied November 18, 2008 1:47 AM And how about when you find a test strip lying on the floor for a meter that you haven't used in more than a year.
John Crowley replied November 20, 2008 9:31 PM I am amazed at how those test strips get everywhere! I opened up a sleeping bag the other day and there were like 5 test strips inside. Crazy. |

You know you are diabetic when your favorite show on TV is Dlife.

Last edited 11 months ago You know you're a dibetic when you dream of chocolate...but instead of eating it and enjoying it, it's chasing you with a test strip and telling you High...High...High.

Got a new one. You know you are diabetic when you talk about being high and it is not drug induced. LOL
fun2u2007 replied November 17, 2008 11:20 PM We were just laughing about that in the lunchroom at work. We have several diabetics here and we were talking about "highs" and this non-diabetic lady walked in and heard us. The face she made was classic. Once we explained, she laughed with us.
caspersmama replied November 17, 2008 11:28 PM LOL. I think that would be neat to have other diabetics to work with. When I worked I was the only one. You are lucky.

You are very funny, I loved this post. I have to add you know you are a diabetic when your injection sights remind you of a connect the dots puzzle. |
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 friends 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 have to add???
