When I was first diagnosed as type 1 diabetic I used to tell me family I was feeling 'shakey' when I was having a hypo. Now shakey has been coined as a noun 'are you shakey?' 'He's going shakey' haha

My nickname for my brother is shakey - that's taken on a whole new world for me, I might have to find him another one now !!

the confusion about what and what not to eat, provided by others who know it all!
When my partner insists on jacking up the central heating and The meat on my bones is falling off, he has the cheek to say, Oh it's you...check your blood ! (never is btw, it's him being a cold blooded reptile) tut.

Insects, spiders, heights, clowns, enclosed spaces, and of course Justin Beiber and JLS. So the standards, really. ;)
I seem to have too much energy when I'm either hypo or hyper, so whenever I'm hanging out with my mum and I don't let her get a word in edgeways, she just looks at me and says, "Where's your testing kit?" lol!

Partner at me when I'm eating with low sugars - are you having a hypo or have you just got out of prison?
