I work in a care home and was once asked, when testing BG in the staff room, to go and test somewhere more discreet - by a nurse, of all people.

Having said that, it seems that some of the worst stigma can come from other diabetics - the old Type 1 vs Type 2 thing. Worst thing I've seen on an FB thread was someone saying "At least I've got proper diabetes, not some fat person problem."
