[QUOTE="Trevor vP, post: 2443824, member: 518145"] What I found is most people are so busy looking at their phones and talking they do not even realise that I am checking my bloods and injecting in front of them. If they new friends I might casually drop it in the conversation hey just got to check my SUGAR level as I am Type 1 diabetic. I do not tell them I am checking BLOOD or INJECTING they do not need to know the details. If they ask I will explain. If I go out for a meal with friends I just do the checks in front of me using the table as a bit of a shield for them if they might be "squeamish". I find needle clippers amazing as when I am done cut the needle and put the plastic part and test strip in a old test strip container. As already said this is a Marathon not a sprint, take it in learn , test , document and Always keep your hypo treats on you and not in the car or at home when you out. [/QUOTE]
