[QUOTE="cassie091, post: 1570904, member: 35025"] I have been insulin dependent for nearly 60 years. Initially injections weren't a problem as I had only one a day and blood testing wasn't possible. The kits weren't available. Now I do not like injecting in public or testing my blood glucose publicly. The Freestyle Libre overcomes the latter issue. I always try to find a seat in a restaurant when I am not in full view and inject in my upper abdomen as discreetly as possible. You do have to consider the sensibilities of other people. However injecting in a public toilet is far from ideal for obvious reasons. Provided you were prepared to be discreet I feel the restaurant was being unreasonable and as others have said I would have found another one. Whether they were discriminating against you is another issue and I have no idea whether that could be proven. Hope this incident did not spoil your holiday. [/QUOTE]
