Hi there, I am just interested in peoples opinions on injecting insulin in public especially eating out?
I recently read a letter in a diabetic magazine from someone complaining that it was disgusting, and that it should be done in the toilet instead. I was quite shocked by this negative attitude of this letter, having diabetes is not disgusting, and I have used my insulin pen in public many times, and noone has ever complained, or said anything to me. I do not see why I should hide away in what might be a dirty toilet, I am not a drug addict, I have a condition that requires that I inject before I eat. The pen I use is very discreet anyway, and most people do not notice. Would like to know what other members think?
