Non-D Jealousy

I know this sounds silly, but I have a feeling some other diabetics will agree. When you have type 1 diabetes, in a way it becomes your world. So much that we sometimes forget what the rest of the world goes through being a non-diabetic. I am obviously well aware that my friends and family do not have to worry about their blood sugar going high or low, they don't have to pack a briefcase of diabetes supplies everywhere they go, and they do eat whenever they want with out having to bolus. But I don't think it really sinks in until you let somebody (who does not have diabetes) test their glucose on your own meter. When you see that number, that perfect 86 or whatever it is, and the way they don't care, don't appreciate that number, to them it's just a number, it does something to you, it really hits you. At least that was my experience.
