[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 545498, member: 47217"] I usually only tell people who need to know, it's just easier that way. A couple of months ago I was having a cup of coffee with my neighbour who doesn't know I'm type 1 when my insulin pump started alarming. She said "Aren't you going to answer that"?, instead of pretending it was an important call coming through I gave what I thought was an easy to understand, concise explanation of Type 1 and insulin pumps. Ever since she has brought me a family box of chocolates every few weeks to -as she puts it -"cheer me up"! 1. I'm not miserable.2. I don't eat chocolates. 3. I wish I had pretended it was a phone. 4. How do I stop her doing this? [/QUOTE]
