I found out we donlt have a medical room at work... Bloody cost saving.. So there is noit a quiet space I can inject, the building manager suggested the toilet, until I said would you eat your lunch in there. So I test and inject at my desk :)

Fergus thanks for the advice. My DSN said my BS levels were good, but I need to raise them so I have less chance of hypo when exercising. I will look into the different snacks after exercising. I always have cereal bars and dexttros tablets in my bag. What glucose tables are better, gluco-tab...
