OMG!!!

As a diabetic myself, I can't imagine anything so horrible and personally invasive.

The Am Diabetes Assn needs to do some outreach to idiot teachers if they can't tell a pump from a phone. Although, considering so few phones are attached to people's bodies w/a freakin' cannula, you'd think it wouldn't be an issue.

I'd say a big fat lawsuit ought to raise their consciousness. I'm not a diabetic, but I donate blood a lot. And for some reason I have this paranoia about that cannula being ripped out of my arm. If it ever was, I don't know that I would ever be able to donate again, at least not without major major counseling.

If I had type I diabetes, that would be a huge problem. Should be worth a lot of money.

The teacher was probably thinking of those new phones that kids just plug into the port in the back of their heads.
