poor poor DM.
i also wanted to say that i use the excuse of having a “dangerously high” BG to get out of family social events (“i must rush home and give myself a manual injection”). my husband is in on this sham as well.
and the funny thing is that the next day (or later that night) i get all sorts of sympathy calls. (" are you feeling better? " i’m so sorry that happened. did everything work out" etc.
