[QUOTE="Sanober, post: 310872, member: 33171"] What a hideous thing for her to say. I wouldn't have been so polite as you but then am sure you were totally thrown off guard. It isn't against the law to self administer medicine. I tend to turn my chair away to the side or try to do it under my desk, or flip over a cardi or jacket. That was then, now I don't bother at all and no one has said a word about it. The other day a senior manager came over to congratulate me for bringing in a big investment and talk about awkward moment when I had the insulin pen in my tummy, however he was great and just carried on talking and didn't look down. :lol: Why should you be ostracised for adminstering medicine? It's not as if you do a human trumpet and create a fanfare and announce to the room and draw attention to it...and what if you're going a bit too low just before you eat...is this not safety issue for you to be sent to the loo on your own? Why is she gawking in the first place? What next, is she also going to tell an Asthmatic to use their inhaler in the loo? If you end up unconcious and need a glucagon injection is this person going to tell others to do this in hiding? Imagine if it was her mother or child, how would she feel knowing that other people are telling them to go do it away somewhere private. She sounds horrible, is she going to get annoyed with how loudly you type on your keyboard or the tomatoes on your salad? Where does it end and why is she taking it so personally? That's what I would ask her. You're not intentionally making her feel uncomfortable, you're priority is to adminster medicine, and sometimes it's not practical to walk away and do it. Will I have to then take my handbag/kit etc and do all that on the loo? Also you need to look at your food to know how much to put in. Sometimes I forget and have to refer back to the internet or my Carb & Cals pictures and sometimes need to use a calculator... Some people are unbelievable, if you're unable to talk to this stupid woman then talk to your boss first or in confidence to HR if you have one? I hope she hasn't upset you too much, she's not worth it. [/QUOTE]
