It's been a week and I haven't said anything to my coworkers about diabetes. Not even to either of my bosses. I'm not hiding it either. I really thought that on my first day people would be pointing and staring and asking about my pump, which I decided to wear on my belt as usual.

But nothing. I was surprised, actually. On day two or three, I was introduced to two people who I will work closely with in the future, one of whom noticed that something was on my belt, but she couldn't really figure out what it was. A cell phone? An iPod? she wondered aloud.

"It's an insulin pump," I said matter of factly.

"A what?"

"An insulin pump," I said.

"Oh."

No questions about what an insulin pump is or why I needed it. And I didn't offer anything, which is definitely outside the norm for me.

I've continued to check my sugar at my desk and bolus for lunch in the lunchroom, and still no one asks. I don't know why I've taken this different approach (usually I'm ready to blurt it out to anyone who will listen), but it feels natural to just let things happen the way they'll happen.

I'm in a temporary location now while one of our two buildings undergoes renovations. In two weeks, I'll move to another temporary spot while the building I'm in now goes through renovation; I'll actually be seated with my team when we're transferred. I suspect that my beeps and boops will attract a little more attention.

Perhaps I shouldn't be so eager to get the word out... the diabetes police may be lurking.
