But the last thing anyone wants to do is dress up as a freaking glucose meter. \u00a0Or worse, a CGM that beeps all through the party. \u00a0 And then&#8230; \u00a0you can&#8217;t dress up as a syringe or everyone will think you&#8217;re a \u00a0prick. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You know what happened to me last time I wore my paper mache metformin costume? \u00a0My endo mistook me for a generic statin and everyone else thought I was the moon.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are some of the best diabetes-themed costumes for the party we aren&#8217;t really planning?
