[QUOTE="Danni_pinay, post: 2522071, member: 526981"] I think people will feel bad for your situation. But that's ok, I feel bad for us some days! We burn out, we get annoyed, we get tired of diabetes too sometimes [emoji2374] but once you accept it, it's easier to, laugh and tell them how look at us still living, because life goes on! I still get anxious in public spaces, I even had friends, years back, that shouted 'druggy' when I was injecting and as the needle was in my arm or leg, I couldn't quickly hide it at that moment either. But I gave up on bathrooms to inject, too gross and I worry I'll drop my pen in to someone else's cubical [emoji1787] and that would be harder to explain! I usually tell new people when I'm about to inject and their eyebrows raise in confusion, it's a good laugh. But after 25 years, I've accepted laughing is a good way round it. But we all have a story to tell and deal with life our own way, so honestly, do what's right for you. If people don't seem ok with that or you aren't happy with their reaction. Remember, you have a whole team of dead pancreas' here, happy to listen to you. Our blood monitors judge us enough, we don't need people too [/QUOTE]
