Try This

Everyone! For one day try being a diabetic. When you wake up prick your finger. On everything you eat or drink check the Carbs, Calories and Fats. Now do the math work to figure out your insulin intake. Also before every meal prick your finger. Oh-ya don't forget to prick your finger 2hrs after meals or snacks to make ...sure your did your math right on your insulin intake! Now watch the looks you get when you want to eat a Sweet and someone always says "aren't you a diabetic?" Seriously? Do they think there is any way I could forget? What do they think this big old fasioned pager thing hooked to me 24/7 is for? Style? Just try it for one day and tell me how you did. I DARE you! If you don't have a pricker just take a needle and slam it into the tip of your finger it feels the same, but I promise your fingers get use to it after awhile and you will have to make the needle go deeper to draw blood? Have fun. Oh-ya don't forget the bedtime blood check and all the numerous shots through out the day... or if your on a pump you have to insert a 2" needle with cathidor into you every other day.
