[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2212990, member: 352098"] I have never made a secret of having type 1. I have always told my boss /immediate superior and anyone I am in contact with a lot. As nobody needs to do anything about it, they generally forget, until they catch me getting out the glucose and then suddenly ask if I need help. It's a fairly normal reaction, in my experience. I have always believed that educating people about it is a good idea. It can crop up abruptly in any family, but if somebody has at least been aware of a colleague living with it, looking normal and still doing their job, it must surely be a less frightening prospect. (I haven't been so confident about everything though. I spent years hiding in the ladies' loo if I needed to inject insulin when at work.) [/QUOTE]
