[QUOTE="jay2506, post: 223092, member: 34389"] I just use my stomach. I'm reasonably comfortable doing this in public. If people don't want to see my 'muffin top'(!) look away! If I'm wearing a dress however, I will nip to the loos and use my thigh. Don't want to get done for flashing!! I've only been on insulin since June. The very first time I injected in public (discreetly and I had turned away from other tables in restaurant chain) the waitress walked past and said really loudly 'What are you doing?' I was mortified! However, I have become a bit thicker skinned now. If people have a problem with it they can choose to look away. I too have a massive handbag with all sorts of junk in it for both me and the kids. All my diabetes paraphanalia (including meter, spare needles, dextrose tabs, pens etc) are kept in a brightly coloured square make up bag. This way I can identify it easily in the depths of my bag and if I'm a bit hypo it's not too much hard work. Also, it's a good excuse to buy more make up as I use the freebie make up bags that come as part of a bonus! [/QUOTE]
