id jus like to see how different our lives are.(:
My friends are use to it now some of them sometimes forget I have Diabetes !I always carry my meter around ( well most of the time) I carry a purse with my meter and juice and Dex4 also my insullin pens just in case . Also like my cell and ipoid ect .My school dosent have a carb menus.Does yours?I just got really good at carb counting . I go to diabetes camp so I might alot of people obiously with diabtes .But in the town I live in most of my friends from camp live here 2
same here!!!..i carry a purse too..meter, wallet, gum, tabs...etc. my school duznt either!!!!!!..it buggs me cuz we dnt have that long of a lunch period so i jus bring a roast beef sandwhich everyday =P..sumtimes ham tho! lol. diabetes camp sounds like a good idea..i mite look into that...
Hahah roast beef is so good haha Yeah defintaly look into diabtes camp it's so much fun and you really learn alot from everyone there .Yeah I hate how they don't have the carbs the only good thing about my caf is all the pop we have is Diet so I can drink it ! My friends always laugh at me because I have so many purses but i just say well i always need one so why not a good looking one :)
my friends dont think its that big of a deal...they have some weird questions sometimes, but theyre pretty cool about it. i dont carry my meter around, but i do take it to lunch with me. and as for the hot lunch.....my schools food is disgusting, so i only buy the pizza every month or so. i have the minimed pump though, so i could still eat it if i wanted to-i would just have to estimate the carbs. i dont have any diabetics at my school, im the first in 80 years there. its kinda a good and bad thing. the teachers are ALWAYS making sure im ok, but its cool because i can brag to my friends that the most unique person there. they ignore me lol
Thats so cool the first in 80 years! wow there are so many diabetics at my school 4 in my grade alone!

ya my friends ask stupid ?'s too!!!(: lol..my school's food is alirght...but im kinda nervous about the whole guessing thing =/. goodness! 80 years??! jeez..i have 2 other kids in my school with it..a boy sophmore and a girl 6th grader. lol!!...teachers are the same way with me b/c the boy in our school is kinda a bad diabetic..so there always makin sure im on top of things =D
My school they are really slack about it but my mom made " emergency plans" for all my teachers which is so embarssing because it has my pic on it so all of my teachers no what to do but they mostly just make me take a buddy where ever im going
My friends actually are very supportive of diabetes and always help me. sometimes if i forget to test because my thoughts are racing, they remind me to test. i carry around a purse which contains glucose tabs, my meter, extra pump supplies(including insulin), a few syringes, extra batteries, and a carb book for when i buy hot lunch. my school doesnt have carb menus which i feel makes my life more difficult. i know carb amounts for food but my school doesnt measure things. I have friends with diabetes but i met them at diabetes camp. it is the most amazing place of earth, in my opinion it is heaven. Diabetes camp has changed my life for the better and i look forward to each summer now. Also i have diabetic friends from another amazing place...JUVENATION.
oh jeez that sounds like it wud suck nikki!...):
My friends are SO supportive. they go to all diabetes walks come to my camp on intake day and remind me to test and bolus. they even tested with me once! i always carry my meter because i go low a lot in school and i am in 500 clubs and spring track. i eat hot lunch and i bring my calorie king book to look up food. it might be a little off though :P. i know people with diabetes. one i do not like at all and the other is nice and one of my camp councelors lives in my town but dosent go to my high school. i love high school!!!!
mine are supportive too!...they like pokin me and quote: "slurppin up the blood"...ik it sounds gross. but its when the test stripp "sucks up" the blood.
lol they like to do that =D
Hahah thats so cute tho "slurppin up the blood" wish my friends said stuff like that ! haha
