[QUOTE="Hooked, post: 649263"] At Irish class last night we were doing role plays and I had to explain to the girl I was practising with why I was stuffing my face with skittles and having problems following the script. Just said I was diabetic and needed some sugar. "Did you not take your tablets today?" "No, I'm on an insulin pump. My levels are a little low, hence eating sweets now." Then after our tea break. "Are you alright now, did you get something sweet with your tea?" To which I just replied yes, with a smile. "You really should look into getting tablets for it. A friend/relative of mine takes them and finds them great, no bother at all." "She's probably type 2, I'm type 1 and have to have insulin". Thankfully the class restarted at that stage; I didn't want to have a big convo on the ins and outs of various forms of diabetes and their treatments. [/QUOTE]
