I lie about my blood sugar being low to get more time to hang out with my friends

So I'm a type one diabetic. Obviously I have a dexcom and all of the other lovely pharmaceuticals that keep me alive. Thankfully it's not super often that my blood sugar drops that low but it does happen enough that me and my friends always get food when we hang out. It's usually towards the end of our hang outs because we do alot of physical activity such as walking, running, or boxing. (friendly boxing, we're not knocking each others teeth out) Every time we get food it leads to a longer hangout that occasionally ends up in a sleepover. So, any time we hang out and I want to keep it going a little bit longer, or I just don't want to go home, I say my blood sugar is low and ask if we can go and get food. Of course my friends are amazing people and always oblige (and no I don't make them pay for any of my food, I always cover my share or the entirety of the bill, it's the least I can do for taking up their time) I feel really guilty about lying to them and wasting their time but it's like some weird guilty pleasure. Like yeah it's bad and it's a lie but I get more time with my best friends... Sometimes it's just because I'm hungry but most of the time it's because I wanna keep hanging out with them
