[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1929673, member: 488171"] This conversation summed it up pretty well IMO : [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/eating-alone-and-injecting-in-a-restraunt-how.157064/[/URL] I disagree with people who suggest we need to hide our injecting. Certainly here in the UK we do have the law behind us - disability discrimination isn't allowed. Yes, we do have the human rights lawyers on our side. It's possible people might pick on younger people using the injections as an excuse, but as you get older you tend to get less grief about this sort of thing. OTOH there's also no point in making a song and dance about it. I remember tales of a young man who would ostentatiosly inject in public with his syringe - I'd not do that. Insulin pens are discreet enough to inject without most people noticing. Re family - it's sad that they had that reaction. Mine didn't bat an eyelid, so I'm afraid I don't have any useful advice, though you can add me to the list of people who said that if you want to say "Almost everybody else in the world is fine with this".
