Having Type 1 can be a pain in the a** — it can also just be plain awkward. If you’re a T1D, you know what we mean.
1. When someone asks why you have a pager.
2. Apologizing to your significant other for what you said when you were low.
3. Getting undressed at the end of the day and finding test strips hiding underneath.
4. The looks you get when you’re sipping a juicebox at the bar.
5. Disconnecting your pump but trying to remain seductive *in the bedroom.*
6. Always being the person who wants to order food when you’re out with friends.
7. Taking “hangry” to a whole new level when you’re low.
8. When your friends ask you to carry their things – because you ALWAYS have a bag.
9. When you meet someone else with Type 1 and they just *get you.*
