[QUOTE="QPR4Me, post: 1931849, member: 132584"] They are utter neanderthals. They need someone to sit down and seriously educate them about Diabetes. We all need sugar, we just have to control our intake. Many of us need insulin, whether T1 or T2. Someone needs to sit down with them and explain how it all works, and the best person is yourself, especially if you have read up on your condition and fully understand how it all works. If not, get family members to talk to your Diabetes professionals, so that they may learn something, rather than sticking their heads in the sand. I refuse to sneak off to the toilets when having an injection, if asked, I explain that I have a medical condition and am not a junkie. If they don't like it, I leave and they lose a sale. The best tale I can tell you was when my late mother was seriously ill, with a condition that threatened her life, nearly 30 years ago. I went to the hospital in the ambulance with her. I called my brother to bring my insulin bottles, and my syringe, along with food (this was in the days before pens and I was using a bespoke mixture of two different insulins. As I was waiting in the A&E area, three lads came in, one of whom had broken his wrist. My brother arrived with my insulins. I began to draw up the insulins out of their various bottles, so that I could eat my food. I was aware that these lads were staring intently at me. I just pulled up my shirt and rammed the syringe home and injected. The next thing I noticed was two of them wetting themselves lughing, while the chap with the broken wrist had passed out whilst watching me and was now an unconscious heap on the floor. Serves you right was my thought before I tucked in to the meal my brother had brought me. My mum made a full recovery and live on for another 25 yrs, until her death of old age! Be strong! [/QUOTE]
