Рецепт Incriminating statements
Ever notice that diabetics can say the most incriminating things?
Like when I have a high glucose reading, sometimes I say…
“I need to shoot up!” … Insulin. I need to shoot up insulin.
- Even insulin needles can get us in some hot water with cops who don’t understand diabetes…
- Sometimes, when I have a low blood glucose reading, I will say to Stefan,
I.e. “I need a fix,” of juice or candy to treat the low.
But, Perhaps the most embarrassing and incriminating things can happen at airport security.
Those darn beeps from the metal detectors often seem to beep louder when they detect my insulin pump on me. And, I just know that everyone behind me thinks that I’m the asshole who holds up the line because I can’t follow directions to remove all metal items from my body, like my watch.
Aside from the beep through the metal detector, signaling that you could possibly have an illegal weapon on you, those airport security pat downs can also be awfully suspicious. I have a sneaking paranoia that when I’m getting a pat down (because the full body scanner might fry my insulin pump), that everyone is suspicious of me. This is especially true when they see the security officer scan my insulin pump for traces of narcotics. Sometimes, I like to loudly profess to Stefan, after passing the security checkpoint, “who actually feeds lines of illegal narcotics from a pump through a tube into their body on a constant drip? At least … who in their right minds would try to go through airport security feeding their body illegal narcotics on a constant drip?” I have to say this each time I pass airport security… Just so people know I don’t do it when I’m in my “right” frame of mind.
Last but not least, Perhaps one of my favorite phrases at home is:
Favorite, not for the awful feeling of a high glucose reading, but favorite in the sense that it usually starts the cycle of this phrase again:
