[QUOTE="iHs, post: 438567, member: 8799"] Its true to say that most people are a bit ignorant about diabetes and don't understand the necessity of using a bg meter to monitor levels. I suppose it could come over as being a bit off putting and the noise of the finger pricker spring releasing might irritate some even though you would think that if they have the time to notice what you are doing, then they are not busy enough themselves. What would probably help would be to try to conceal the bg meter and finger pricker by putting it in a desk drawer and then pull the drawer out to do the test without anyone being able to see anything. This would also help to deaden the sound of the pricker especially if used resting on a piece of foam instead of laying on a wooden desk top. [/QUOTE]
