I recently told him that it would be easier for the first aiders to deal with him fainting then it would be to treat me for a severe hypo or organ failure due to not taking my insulin! Dramatic I know, but he soon shut-up about it!

Some people do have a genuine phobia and it should be treated with as much respect as our right to test and inject
