Perhaps the only good thing about T1D is the immediate camaraderie you feel with other T1Ds. When I spot somebody else in public with a CGM or a pump, it's just that instant feeling of "hey, we know nothing about each other, but we have a very intimate understanding of each other's suffering".
> Love this part. Had to do it literally yesterday to prep for interviewing a job applicant. Imagine the stress of an upcoming meeting, but also your brain might stop functioning half an hour into it! Ha ha! Good times.
Haha, yeah, this is one of those things that every T1D has had to do at some point, that non diabetics would probably be shocked by. There are just times when you can't risk going low. Going high ain't great, but it at least doesn't involve the immediate danger that a hypo at just the wrong moment does...
I did this applying for an internship at Microsoft. First big company interview for me and I didn't realize they would be taking me to lunch. The interviews after lunch were miserable as I was dangerously high.
