[QUOTE="mumofteendotter, post: 333875, member: 25261"] My daughter does not like injecting in public at the best of times but we were once asked to go to a toilet to inject. I politely asked if they wanted to serve us our food in there as well. They said of course not. So we got up and walked out. I recently used some refurbished public toilets in a nearby town and was 'delighted' to see a needle disposal point built into the wall. On another occasion I had to go into the disabled toilet in the same block and was a bit confused as there was no needle disposal point in this loo. Many years ago I was in rented accommodation and a man came in to service the boiler. He gave me a funny look when he spotted the sharps box in the kitchen. I explained that my daughter was diabetic and he carried on with his work. The following week I had three "heavies" from the landlord turn up accusing me of being a drug user. I was really hurt and shocked. I had to show them the insulin, the prescription and so forth. I think they were disappointed not to be able to throw me out. They did not apologise or anything just left. [/QUOTE]
