I hated injected in public I was bullied for years because Done an injection a birthday party group of 15 boys spread about where I lived telling everybody that I was an addict or I was a dealer they stole my food After I had injected or stole my injections from my bag when I was ordering food it became more like a phobia I hated it I couldn't inject in public and I hate injecting front of anybody I hate people knowing that I even had diabetes I hated it so much I stopped eating i stopped injecting I refused to take my insulant I refused to be a diabetic I ended up with diabetic neuropathy at the age of 19 doctors telling me that I wasn't going to walk again I was four and a half stone. Saint Georges Hospital gave me an insulin pump so nobody had to know and it change my life it gave me confidence and the ability to control my diabetes
Awful how this illness affects us. Just read your post.
So pleased your good now. You've done amazingly well.
Much admiration..
