[QUOTE="janeridal, post: 1931566, member: 189749"] I was diagnosed T2 originally - when I was about 62 - and changed to T1 within a year. Been testing and injecting ever since. As time has passed I've become more hard-nosed about injecting, discreetly, in public. If I'm in a crowded restaurant, say, I'll try to find a quiet corner (personally I don't object to using a clean toilet cubicle); but generally I don't bother nowadays. I mostly use my stomach for daytime injections anyway - it's a bit difficult to be discreet about injecting into the thigh! I'm really sorry you had such a negative reaction from your family; it sounds as though they don't really understand how important it is for you. I suggest you try to talk to them about it, quietly and calmly, and accept they may need a bit of time to get used to the idea. But ultimately you have nothing to apologise for. Like others I have found younger people the most accepting - the grandchildren are fascinated! [/QUOTE]
