Sorry if this has been asked before but this is my 1st post here.
I have an insulin pen and take a shot just before each meal, in my stomach. I've been in a new job for 2 months and today at lunch my colleague turned to me and asked that I take my injection in the toilet as it made her feel uncomfortable to see me take my jab.
I've been type 1 since I was 4, and I am now 38 and no-one has ever said a thing like that to me. Like an idiot I skulked off to the toilets (with my lunch cooling on the plate) and felt really awful and sordid.
It upset me a lot.
Is this allowed?
What should I do (if anything?)
