This isn't about waving needles around in front of people, doing air shots over their dinner and then aggressively staring them down whilst we plunge the units into our subcutaneous tissue.Do you think those of us who are insulin dependent enjoy needing to do this whenever we eat? Especially in a restaurant environment where we're already having to do best guessing to figure out the carb content of what's being served to us and then taking the dose (discreetly) hoping it's not too little, not too much because of what that will result in for us.I am fed up of reading small minded opinions that feed stigma in this thread so I'm off out of it now but with a thought similar to what [USER=434447]@evj95[/USER] has already touched on: if a young child can handle this and ask intelligent questions beyond their years which I have also personally seen - why can't fully grown 'adults' deal with this situation (if they happen to notice it) with a moment of empathy before returning to their meal?</blockquote>
