Diabetic Lingo

Are there certain terms or vernacular that you've come up with to describe life with diabetes? How about some of these......

"How low can you go?"
-- the song played in your head during a meeting when you debate how long you can stay in a meeting with a low blood sugar

"Pumper"
-- no, not a woman breastfeeding, but a woman who has her pump in her bra

"Lassoed"
-- when you walk by a doorway with the pump in your hand and the cord gets hooked on the doorknob

"P-Cup"
--Bra size for those of us who carry a third "girl" around in the bra.

"Autolet-ic"
--Person who just can't change their autolet more than once a year

Got any more to add to the list? Post a comment!
