I have to admit, this blogging thing is a lot easier for me when I have an assignment. This month’s assignment from the Diabetes Social Media Advocacy Blog Carnival is as follows: What is a funny diabetes experience you had with a Person Without Diabetes / supporter / T-3? Parents of CWd’s, please share your experience.
At first I was a little stumped by this one, since I already posted my two funniest non-diabetes people moments during dblog week. But then I remembered the date. This has actually happened twice. I was on a date with a really nice guy who was supportive and kind about the diabetes thing. At dinner he said, “Why don’t you check my blood glucose?” The first time it was just the two of us at dinner; the second time we were on a “double date.” When I went to the bathroom (I’m told) my date told the other couple that I was taking insulin. When I got back to the table, he said, “check mine so I can show them what you do.” I did and sure enough, his blood glucose level was high (in the 200s both times). UGH. I vowed never to do that again, which is not a problem since the second one was my husband!
