I'm not THAT kind of high!

I don't usually stop to realize how I sound when I say that I am high. I mean in a blood glucose related kind of way. I discovered that can be relatively bad when I saw that in public around people who do not know I am diabetic. For instance, last night I went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and one of my best friends Holly works there. She asked if I was okay, and I said "I've been really high the past few days, but I'm doing okay". The boy behind the register gave me this shocked look and glanced at Holly to see if she was fazed by my comment. But all she did was smile and told me to feel better soon.

My favorite story was during the school year however. I was feeling sick, and my sugar was reflecting it, so the nurse called my mom to pick me up. I had all my stuff my locker and I was walking towards the exit, a little dizzy because I had just taken a really large shot of insulin. One of the teachers was walking down the opposite direction and stopped to ask me if I was okay, and i said "No, I'm really high right now." Needless to say, he took it the wrong way, and started off "Jamie! That's not the way we solve our problems! Drugs are not the answer! We can work through whatever problems you are having, just say no to the influences and you can overcome!" I started laughing because he misunderstood me and he just stood there looking at me and I said "Blood Sugar" and walked away. He was just standing there, then he caught up to me and said "Oh. Oh yeah, I forgot." Then he took my bag and walked me to the exit where my mom was waiting.
