[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2443807, member: 372207"] They're invisible from more than 2 feet away. They wouldn't be able to see the difference between you holding your pen with or without a needle against your body. But if you like this person, why not just inform them you're about to fiddle with your insulin pen so they can look the other way or go to the bathroom for a couple of minutes? It's sure much more hygienic to sit out your fear of needles in a public bathroom than to inject there... That said, I'm not too bothered by the hygiene aspect of injecting in a bathroom. Like I said, I inject anywhere and everywhere, and that includes bathrooms. But I'm pretty sure someone with a needle phobia will appreciate not wanting to do an injection in a bathroom! Take your time, it's a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time getting used to all this, and that's perfectly fine! [/QUOTE]
