This is definitely the best! My uni and work boss always say to me 'have you got your insulin on you incase you go low!' OMG!!!!!!! I just think I bloody hope I don't collapse from a hypo cos they are just going to kill me by giving me more insulin!"Oh, it's best you don't have a biscuit, don't want you going hypo on me!"...hmmm yeah, we wouldn't want that!
"Please don't have a hypo, I don't want to use an epi pen on you!"...I really hope you wouldn't!
And the best one "if you ate this bar of chocolate, would you die?"

I get this one a lot, just take it as a complimentThe best one is 'you don't look like a diabetic' ?!!
My wife likes the show 2 Broke Girls (I don't by the way) and in an episode a few weeks ago there was a diabetic character who had a hypo, collapsed on the floor yet they miraculously revived him instantly by injecting him with insulin. I sighed and went to make myself a cup of tea and made a note never to tell anyone where I keep my insulin in case they try this stunt.This is definitely the best!

Worst is when you see them 'injecting insulin' into the vein in the crook of their arm. Please don't let anyone who watches television shows like this inject me.My wife likes the show 2 Broke Girls (I don't by the way) and in an episode a few weeks ago there was a diabetic character who had a hypo, collapsed on the floor yet they miraculously revived him instantly by injecting him with insulin.

There is no need for anyone to ever inject me with insulin..end of.Worst is when you see them 'injecting insulin' into the vein in the crook of their arm. Please don't let anyone who watches television shows like this inject me.

Well that's almost... informed! Type 2 being the type that goes high, Type 1 (or insulin dependent) being the type that goes low. You can sort of see how it makes sense.

I had someone at work tell me the other day that I shouldn't drink flavoured water because it tastes sweet and was fizzy.
Then he went through my lunch and told me that it was all wrong for me, then when he saw me do my injection he said I was doing it wrong.
I asked if he had diabetes or knew anyone that did and he said he doesn't!
That was my most recent one.

They would probably inject the whole bloody lot...300 units that should do the trick.This has to be my biggest fear. The amount of people that have said they'll inject me if I pass out is scary.
What makes them think they'll know how much to inject us by? And which insulin to use? And where to inject it? Very frightening to think about.

That's blummin scary!From an A+E nurse - after a bad hypo the Dr asked her to make me a sweet cup of tea, she brought me an unsweetened tea so I asked for sugar the response was "I'll get you some sweeteners" when I said that wont work I need sugar "it's the same"
