[QUOTE="Innocent, post: 9136, member: 7603"] I absolutely agree, I used to feel self conscious about going off to the loo in a restaurant to inject which sometimes raised even more eye brows and funny looks. I did that for ten years then realised if I was going to enjoy life being as outwardly normal as possible and not have to excuse myself to do a bloodtest or injection, then I had to be discreet and inject in situe. Dont get me wrong I dont want to offend other eaters, or put them off their food. Many people are very squeemish about needles, and blood. That's not their fault and not related directly to a problem with diabetics per se, and I wouldnt wish to for any other people to feel uncomfortable around me. I cant bear the sight of needles or blood, when they're not mine. :lol: When out eating, I usually inject discreetly through a t-sht or lift my top a tint bit to inject my tummy. Its all done so quickly that the converstaion is rarely interrupted, and most people wouldnt even notice what I had done. Every body happy. :D [/QUOTE]
