Wake up at 3 am with cotton mouth: Ah, blood sugar is high. Probably Dawn Syndrome. Check my BG, bolus, go back to sleep.
Wake up an hour later: Sensor glucose even higher. Have to pee. Cotton mouth now worse. Now realize the tubing has been ripped away from where the infusion site meets my skin. Shit. Change infusion site. Check BG. Bolus. Again. Fudge it to give the extra I'm sure I didn't get the first time. Now sleep.

Shit People Say to Diabetics #1
In class
My pump: *alarms*
Classmate: you should be able to watch tv on that
Me: β¦itβs a medical deviceβ¦
Classmate: but you should
Me: β¦
I'm proud of myself for being able to go to the beach in public and still have all my gear on and ignore the countless stares and whispering. I kind of like it actually, showing off...
Diabetic confession
I don't remember why I named my pump and CGM Fenris but I started calling it Fenris so much now even my husband calls it Fenris. Him: "*Laying in bed, rolls over to hug me. Bumps pump, pats it gently as if apologizing* Oops, sorry Fenris."
Let's play: is that sweat, water, or insulin on my shirt.
Bonus points because stuffy nose so I can't tell if it's insulin by smell.

I was getting settled on the table at my preferred massage place and my therapist noticed my sensor on my arm. I said I was diabetic and wore an insulin pump, saying it's okay to touch around my sensor but not right on it so it doesn't get removed accidentally. She says okay and we move on.
Hour and a half later, after my massage, she asks me if my blood sugar is okay to drive before I leave and says she has a niece who is diabetic so she understands. She offered a few pieces of candy she had stashed in her purse if I was dropping and I happily get to explain how my sensor works.
It just took me by surprise because most of the time with strangers it's "oh, cool. Insulin pump." Then it's done. The MAs checking me at doctor's offices just ask if they can put the BP cuff over my sensor, nothing more. I explain to a co-worker and it's dropped. But she took me by surprise and followed up with me to make sure I was okay before I left the clinic.
I gave her the biggest tip I've ever given a massage therapist.
The moment I start crying with want as my CDE tells me there's patients on the 670G who get their A1Cs down to 6.5% or lower and every time someone gets an A1C that low they all cheer and get excited with the person. My lowest on my pump is 6.9% (Carelink estimates my current A1C at 6.8%). That's after 5 months of having my pump versus MDIs. Here's hoping come the end of October I get to hear cheering at my appointment.
Me: *is a diabetic and loves Nutella*
Them: OMG BUT THERE'S SUGAR!!
Me: *already bolusing as I shove another spoonful in my mouth* And?
