[QUOTE="RPNKW, post: 55057, member: 7309"] I do it publicly when I have to but discretely. Why should I hide away in a train toilet to carry out an invasive procedure however minor. On a train you can assemble the kit easily and a shot into belly fat only takes about 15 seconds tops.If anyone sees and you have tried to be discrete it really is their problem but I wouldn't do it overtly. A bigger issue for me is testing if you need to monitor BM or check for a hypo on a long train journey or in a town centre. Again I have done it discretely without any funny looks. Most you often get will be curiosity.In this case you really shoudn't prick fingers in public , train or restaurant toilets as testing draws blood. I did have a n attitude from a B and B recently who e-mailed saying they found "Paraphanalia " under the bed. Phoned them and it turned out to be a needle cap, not a needle but the word "Paraphanalia" conjours up images of heroin use it's a phrase commonly used by police and community safety teams.This left a bad taste.Mind you this place was like something from the league of gentlemen "Don't touch the pretty things!" Give me a down to earth boarding house or cheap hotel anytime. I think if I tested on a train and anyone got precious about it id probably say something like "What would you rather, me do this and take action or me faint and wreck your journey" but I have honestly not come across this again I think most people would either be understanding and curious . Those who have got an attitude, lets not forget that given the growing numbers of us, it could be them next RPNKW [/QUOTE]
