Just to play devil's advocate....
I went out with my boyfriend to a local, well known Italian/New York restaurant chain :wink: earlier this week.
I've adopted a proper, approved and strict insulin/BM regime. This means doing a BM and my insulin prior to eating.
As I got out my pen and started priming it, my boyfriend had a look of horror on his face, and questioned me doing my insulin in public. Now, where we were sat was boothed, and I was positioned in such a way that lowering my jeans slightly and injecting in my stomach probably wasn't noticeable.
As loving as he is, he's never known anyone with diabetes so is new and naive to everything. He was concerned that people would be offended, or even scared of the fact I was publicly injecting. He then compared it to breastfeeding in public. Something that some people don't mind, while other object to strongly.
Now, bearing that comment in mind, would you change where you did your injection for fear of insulting others or even triggering people's phobias of needles (it can happen!)?
It wouldn't effect me, but wondered other people's opinions on this.
