Five things only a PWD has to think about:
1. When buying a new purse…”does this have enough room for all my D supplies”?
2. When wearing a dress…”Is the cleavage too low for the between boobs pump clip-age?”
3. Before a workout…”Do I need to consume calories in order to burn calories?”
4. When purchasing a bathing suit…”Tankinis. Need to find all the tankinis”. (I don’t know if any other female PWD feel this way, but I feel like one piece suits are a massive PITA when it comes to the pump.)
5. All the time…”When was the last time I ate? Do I need to check my BG? Is that headache because I’m annoyed with work or because my BG is off? I’m thirsty – am I high? Did I remember to throw those glucose tabs in my purse? Should I rage bolus or use a temp basal to get my BG down? Do I really have to do all this again tomorrow?”
a1-Conceive! 
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Swimsuit shopping is a bear. I just don’t jump in swimming pools anymore.
…”all this again tomorrow?”
ufff.
Really? I’ve been a PWD since long before the term “PWD” existed, and three of those things I’ve NEVER thought about!
(Actually, I have thought about cleavage a lot. Boobs too. But that was mostly in my late teenage years and in an entirely different context.)
Scott, you don’t base your purse-buying decisions on your D-stuff? And what the heck do you wear to swim?
Haha, I should have specified a Female PWD. (Or I guess in some cases, Male. But hey, I don’t judge.)
Have a great weekend!
I’m a newly diagnosed diabetic and all but 2 & 4 apply because I don’t do the pump.
