[QUOTE="RoughcutAU, post: 2514515, member: 552779"] When first diagnosed last year for the first month or so I generally hid the mechanics (BG Testing/Insulin Injections) but was quite open with sharing about the condition. Now i just do it at the table ... its much easier then running back to my car or the bathroom and probably more sanitary. :) It took time to wrap my head around it all though and be comfortable. I must admit abit of humour helps me - if you don’t mind being the butt of a few jokes. When I’m out with mates the line “have you had too many or are you Hypo” is thrown about - it makes light of the situation but also reminds me of the importance of checking in on myself. Everyone is different so you do you! [/QUOTE]
