[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 445428, member: 11028"] Hi Jessica and welcome to the forum :) A few comments... First, don't feel nervous or anxious about injecting in public, your not doing anything wrong and we need insulin to stay alive, if people don't like what they see they have the option of looking away. The desert option in restaurants might be helpful for those who have a sweet tooth, perhaps taking this up with the establishments where you eat might persuade them to offer a desert more suitable to yourself. I don't personally have any problems shopping for food in supermarkets, the days of the likes of Boots selling over-priced diabetic goods are thankfully nearly all behind us now and I wouldn't wish to see aisles especially dedicated to diabetics. As for the problems with your University, ask the student union to get involved and raise your concerns, student services is also another good place to bring up issues that are effecting your well-being whilst studying. Good luck and I hope you get some answers to the concerns you have raised! [/QUOTE]
