[QUOTE="slip, post: 1542398, member: 182669"] I agree, with modern insulin pens injecting in public discreetly isn't really an issue, it is easily done and dusted in seconds. I would expect other insulin dependant people to have some decorum and inject as discreetly as possible. However there is always a chance of some one being offended, the 'arrgh disgusting' sounds like an off the cuff without thinking remark - they didn't think before opening their mouth, give them the benefit of doubt and just move on :angelic:. Testing blood Glucose with a normal meter is however a different story, yes if you're sat at a table you can do this on your lap out of sight but it ain't half fiddly and awkward to do! Especially just as you're about to blob the blood on the strip and the meter decides to slide off your leg and errors with not enough of a blood sample, but by then it's clattered across the floor towards the next table - very discreet! :shifty::) [/QUOTE]
