[QUOTE="therower, post: 1542828, member: 47983"] So today I've been to Gullivers Kingdom in Matlock ( it's a kids amusement park) . Me, wife, daughter, granddaughter, grandson and granddaughters friend from school who I only met today. 11.30 picnic time. Well I managed blood test unnoticed but injection was not going to be so easy. Wife, daughter and grandkids don't even bat an eyelid with what I have to do, I don't hide it, it's what I am. BUT a little 5 yr old girl who has only known me for a few hours????????? Me and this young lady were getting on great and she insisted on sitting next to me, granddaughter one side , new found friend other side. Grandson sat with nanna and mummy ( they have better boobs, he's only 3) So injection time. What to do? Explained to new friend that I had to have special medicine. ( won't go into granddaughters response at this point, that's another tale for another day) This young 5 yr old was fascinated, asked every question possible, even counted to 10 whilst I injected and then scrutinised injection site to look for hole and blood. It was a great moment for me, and hopefully at least one more person will understand. There again I could have gone and done all this in the toilets. Diabetic, proud and today very happy. [/QUOTE]
