[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 544676, member: 84861"] Runner wrote : one person had told no one not even her husband for 20-years" Now that is truly sad :( Having diabetes is nothing to be ashamed of, and while I agree that very few of us like to draw attention to ourselves, it really is unacceptable that we should feel we have to hide a away in a toilet to test or inject not to mention unhygienic as has already been said. I test and inject in public though discreetly as I can ,( I don't bare my bum LOL ) Mostly people are just curious and may ask questions out of that curiosity that I'm happy enough to answer ;) I've had a few experiences with needle squeamish folk, but I've never been " in your face " about it and it's their choice to look. It's my choice to manage diabetes the best as I can and also my choice not to have to use a toilet to do so.;) Signy [/QUOTE]
