[QUOTE="bmtest, post: 2266814, member: 21293"] I dont hide it but dont bother to mention it as over the years i realised whats the point its far too complex for most to appreciate the detail. If you decide not to mention it then what happens is you get found. I remember once in business meeting being asked to stop eating or i would be removed from room. As the years roll by i now mention it as formality with not a care if they understand or listen they dont need to know but i tell them. In summary my rule of thumb is dont tell anybody if its a detriment to yourself to do so. To do so in my experience can remove a decision process that is your to make. i say this with 40+ experience of being in total control and relying on no one and never passing out due to hypos. Yes have had close calls but i am always prepared even when stuck in elevator 11 floors up for a couple of hours of which i was the only one who knew i was diabetic. [/QUOTE]
