I'm trying to determine if I am the only dweeb that has given his diabetes a nickname? It kind of happened by accident, but my family and I refer to my diabetes as "Cletus" and he looks like, and has the personality of, the little animated monster on the MySugr app. It's not unheard of to hear food referred to as "Cleetus approved", or hear "Cleetus is a little pissed of at the moment (low blood sugar)", etc.

It started by trying to explain to my children about the Wilford Brimley "Diabeetus" commercial and meme. Then a few days later one of my kids said we need to give the MySugr monster a name. Somehow Cleetus came about from there. Then we started use the name between each other when we wanted to speak about some odd food choice I had to make without explaining to someone in the room that I have Diabetes.

I'm not the only one that has done this, right? ..... RIGHT?
