[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1674750, member: 53162"] I too was embarrassed when I was first diagnosed 6 years ago, I felt I had to hide it from people, but one day at a restaurant my partner told me to inject at the table rather than running off to the loo to do it, that was my turning point and since then I don’t hide it but I only tell the people who need to know around me, I also take time to explain it if people are interested but also know when to stop when their eyes glaze over with info overload. It doesn’t have to be an issue but you do need to inform those you work, exercise and socialise with as they are the people who need to be aware of what to do if you have a hypo. [/QUOTE]
