Dude, Sarah, it's impossible NOT to cheat when you are on, like, 2 shots a day or whatever. I used to be like that, and I'd cheat ALL THE TIME, and I was so unhealthy. Sick, really. But you've gotta demand that you learn about counting carbs and either giving yourself injections to counteract food/high blood sugars or switch to a pump. You just have to! Then you won't think about "cheating," you'll just learn how to deal with eating all kinds of food!
I don't really know where this fits into all of this, but...
When I was in high school sometimes I would lie to the school nurse about what my bg was before I went to lunch. I had to do my blood test in her office and tell her what I was. It was more of an irritation thing, because she didn't really understand what was going on. If I was 57, she would make me stay and eat lunch with her. HORRIBLE!!! So I would rearrange the number, tell her I was 75, then go eat and treat my low. I was diagnosed when I was 6, so I knew how to take care of myself. Having to stay with the nurse while she freaked out over something that the apple juice in my lunch box would fix in 10 minutes was seriously annoying. She really didn't understand what was going on, and I just didn't want to deal with her. Perhaps slightly immature, but hey, lunch was a really important time and I wasn't going to miss it just because the school nurse was paranoid.
For the record, other than my initial diagnosis, I have never been hospitalized for any kind of diabetes related problems or had any kind of emergency care. I certainly don't want to encourage "lying" to a medical professional, especially if you are not in control of your diabetes. I never compromised my management, I always treated myself properly, I just didn't want to silly school nurse who had no idea what she was doing try to "help". I also reported the correct number on my charts for my endo, so my "real" medical professional knew what was going on. This woman just drove me crazy and I wanted away from her as fast as possible.
I recommend lying to stupid school nurses. I rebelled when the school tried to tell me to test in the nurse's office. I'd have no part of the nurse's office, and somehow I got away with it.
once i pretended i had to go to the office for a low when rly i just wanted to check and see if my friend would have to go home sick or not (she was waiting in the office)
yeah. parties are the worst because you don't want to have to check your sugar and figure carbs and stuff. i've also had a granola bar and a capri sun without giving insulin...oops :-/ my bg didn't get too high though, luckily
