Pancreas: Ahem, hey Michelle I think you need to check your sugar.
Me: Nah, I'm OK.
Pancreas: No, really, I know that I don't really work and all that, but, uh, you should take a second and check.
Me: Seriously dude, I'm fine.
Pancreas: Look, you were 110 about an hour ago and about 90 minutes before that you were 122. So, uh, considering that you're shaking and all, I think it would be wise for you to stop and check your sugar.
Me: Look, yourself PUNK! I'm busy and I don't want to.
Pancreas: Michelle, serious--
Me: Would you shut up already! I'm focused on this right now. I want to do this at this moment. I want to be finished doing what I'm doing so I can move on to something else. I ordered pizza tonight so I didn't have to cook so I could have enough time to do what I'm doing right. at. this. moment.
Pancreas: Bu--
Me: I've had about enough of you! Don't you give me enough trouble as it is? Sheesh. I'm only shaking because I'm in a hurry. I need to finish this tonight.
Pancreas: (silence)
Me: Dude, see. I know what I'm doing.
Pancreas: OK, have it your way, but don't come crying to me when things go bad quick.
Me: Whatev-- effing fi-yine. I'll check. Just to show you that you're wrong.
(zip, pop, slip, poke, dribble, wait...)
Me: Shut up! So you were right once. You don't know everything.

It's not usually my pancreas talking to me; it's my husband. But that conversation is really familiar!
Michelle,
So cute!! This is the conversation my squaredance buddies have with me every night! Remember, squaredancers dance holding hands with 7 other people for 15 minutes stretches so all 7 people feel my shaking! Ahhh....and they are always right! I keep glucose in my pocket when I'm dancing....or in my partners pocket!
Boy, the big D gets in the way of my life so often!!!
