[QUOTE="Bizzy-Bee, post: 1133437, member: 210625"] Hi [USER=266049]@Lynz84[/USER]. Not sensitive at all! I know it's difficult with in laws to say what you're feeling. It's not quite the same but I have a couple of friends who used to freak out when I did my injections because they don't like needles. I just said to them - try having to inject yourself multiple times a day and you'd get used to it. I just warn them when I'm about to inject and they look away. It's not hygienic to inject in the toilets. It's also inconvenient enough being diabetic without having to run off and hide everytime you need insulin. I would have a word with your fiancé about it and discuss the best way to approach it with your sister in law. You need to tell her that her comment was unfair and you shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about something you need to do to save your life. Definitely not being too sensitive! x [/QUOTE]
