[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1542886, member: 374531"] As with most new things, jenlou, it just takes a bit of time to get used to it. Remember how driving a car on your own the first few times was a bit scary, and then after a while, it wasn't scary? I remember being self-conscious when I first started, but after a while it's just, yeah, whatever. Random people at tables nearby won't really notice - they'll just think you're adjusting your blouse, if they notice at all - most are paying more attention to what's going on at their table and how badly their first date is going. Family, friends, who you're with at your table, well, sure, that's up closer, I can understand you being shy about this to begin with, but, again, that changes over time. I don't consult family or friends about shots when I decide to inject for a meal. They know I'm T1 and if I decide to do that, it's my business.In your case, they might not have seen it much before, but they will do as your confidence in doing public meal shots grows, and they will have no problems with it. You'll say, scuse me a minute, and they'll say, aye, ok, kid. You might be a bit clunky at the moment with the physical action of doing an injection but after a while you can be very subtle with these things. I'm not shy at all about injecting in public, but I don't make a show of it. You'll be surprised about how easy it is to inject without anyone noticing at all, or, if they do, they'll just be thinking it's our jenlou doing her thing. [/QUOTE]
