Why should we hide when we inject? I normally inject on my belly and just lift my top just enough to inject. I wait until after everyone at my table has finished eating before getting the needle out, it seems the polite thing to do lol
The only time I've had a comment was on the bus, I was running late and hadn't done it at home. An old lady tutted very loudly and made a comment about the open use of drugs. I asked her in a loud voice if she would take paracetamol in public she said of course so I replied with 'so why shouldn't I take insulin in public?' she stammered an apology and two guys at the front of the bus started clapping me!! Since then I have seen her tutting at children laughing too loudly (would she rather a 3 yr old screaming or a happy 3 yr old...?!) she sits on the outside seat and doesn't move over to allow the inside seat to be used by someone else....
Bottom line... inject where you feel most comfortable, we aren't druggies needing to hide in the loos to get our next fix, we are medicating, and literally every injection saves our lives! Breast feeding has become more acceptable because mothers refused to hide away to feed their babies. We should all make a stand and soon enough noone will look twice
