[QUOTE="fat cat bagpuss, post: 260116, member: 42907"] i refuse to inject insulin, in the loos. i'm not a junkie, and not ashamed. i do it at the table and am very open about it. the meter is clearly visible. the other week i was in waterstones in brighton, which has a costa i was feeling very 'wobbly' so haveing a pit stop and sarnie and began to test(yes i was having a hypo) there was a cue developing for the loo, which included children. a little girl looked very curious, so i explained what i was doing, and that injecting insulin didn't hurt (i was eating more carbs than needed to get out of the hypo- was that wrong?) i was very open, and the mother was apologetic that her daughter was looking in the first place! i smiled and replied that it was ok. what i have done however, after reading other posts, is to go on line and buy a diabetic bracelet that says i'm insulin dependant, so that i can just flash that.
