Message: <blockquote data-quote="pinewood" data-source="post: 1133450" data-attributes="member: 147474">When I was first diagnosed (makes it sound like I've been diagnosed for ages, but it was only < 18  months ago!) I was so embarrassed about injecting in public and anyone seeing me. I used to go to the toilets to do it when out, which is disgusting and not a pleasant experience.Now I've learnt to not care about it and luckily, so far, I have not had any nasty looks or comments. It is really so sad that your sister in law felt the need to make such a horrible comment; even if it was not meant in that way. These days our pens are so discreet - and needles so tiny - that I really find it difficult to believe it really makes anyone "uncomfortable" and, as others have pointed out, they don't need to look anyway.</blockquote>
