| | | Congratulations. Never used diabetes for an advantage, ok maybe once to get off of work, but don't tell my boss...
The insets are really easy to use and painless. Good choice in infusion set. Happy pumping! |

I've occasionally used diabetes as an excuse to eat something I want. I call it a "medical emergency," which has become something of a joke in my family. Don't feel guilty, you're entitled to a treat now and then in exchange for all the hard work you put in keeping good control. |

| | I skipped some classes in High School saying I was "low" and had to go eat with my buddy. 
Probably the worse I've ever done.... |

| | we have to play a game for 2 weeks and then we have to take a written quiz  on the history of the game and the rules and everything, i think it ruins it. |
