Recently my family had a conversation over what would happen if I was in an accident and had my arm chopped off - I pointed out that If my arm was chopped off that would need dealing with first. Which led on to the conversation about chopping my arm off to see if I would need less insulin. As mostly scientists they concluded that the only way to see was to test their theory!
My partner, after watching an episode of Hannibal (TV series) turns to me and goes "if you ever go into a comma due to DKA, can I grow mushrooms out of you - like the killer did in that episode?"
Finally my 4 year old nephew has taken to "testing and injecting" his friends at school after seeing me test and inject. If that's not bad enough if I am out for a meal with him he will announce very loudly that it's "time for me to stab myself" or simply shout "stabby, stabby time".
Anybody else got stories about their family like mine?
