[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 801868, member: 148713"] To the "in the old days, we hid our condition for etiquette" argument, I must have been short on etiquette. Throughout the 70s and 80s I regularly injected in public places, and refused to go into public toilets to stick a needle in myself. I got LOTS of disapproval. But that was because in the 70s and 80s we used syringes, and so did heroin addicts! I lost count of the times I looked some tutting old biddy in the eye, and said, "I'm a diabetic, not a heroin addict. You should be ashamed for stereotyping, not me for needing insulin." I was a bit militant! [/QUOTE]
