UGHH!! I hate when people think my pump is an mp3 player!!!

People at school always ask things like "why do you take your mp3 player everywhere?" or "Ooh can i see your mp3 player?" like obviously its not an mp3 player b/c everyone these days has an iPod...and it's annoying how people are so nosey! But then there are those people who try not to be nosey but they stare at my pump all day and when i look at them they look away!! ughh i hate those people...ayone else feel like this??

I always get "Is that a pager?"

I know what you mean. When some people on my bus first saw it they were like," Is that an Mp3 player?" I was like "NO. It looks nothing like an Mp3 player. And why would there be a tube connected to an Mp3 player?" One of my friends Audrey was joking and said I was pregnant and it was playing music to my baby.

And sometimes I kind of like when people ask me questions, cause it makes it seem like they care or are at least interested. But I haven't noticed people just staring at it. I have noticed people staring when I check my blood sugar in the nurses office though. Some people don't even try to hide the fact that they're staring though. Haha. :)

EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!! i hate people who stare when i check my blood sugar! bc i do it in class not in the nurse's office and people are always like OMG WHAT HAPPENED WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?? and im like what? oh nevermind :)

I mostly get the "is that a pager" or "is that your cell phone?"

No, sorry, it's not. lol

I get is that a pedometer ?

and i get a mix of them all but how I kinda sorted it was with the people i tended to trust more i told what it really was when they asked what it was because i saw it as a way to tell more people and then if they know what Diabetes is then if i have complications and have not detected it myself they can help. This has helped me because a small group of my friends are always there to help me now.

omg ive heard so many ideas:

"is that a...":

phone

mp3

ipod

garage-door opener

hamburger maker (yes. i know, hahahahaha a friend convinced them it was that and i couldnt stop laughing)

a hamburger maker? wow people have some imaginations these days ;)

LOL i always get this! But its really fun to mess with teachers and make them think its my cell phone and that i am texting.
