What!! You're not posing a risk to anyone else, but you may pose a risk a risk to yourself if you inject in a loo! Perhaps you could challenge on the grounds of discrimination!I am still trying to resolve the issue of having been requested to do my blood tests in the loo rather than at my desk because of H&S reasons!
Sadly still an issue! I am hoping there may be some resolution when we move offices soon. The irritating thing is that whilst everybody agrees it is wrong getting someone to actually support you (like DSN, DUK, etc.) is near impossible!!!!!!!
Hi All ...
Injections can be done discreetly etc ... and really does anyone notice or care ..

thinking about this, I have only ever noticed 1 person injecting in my whole lifetime - and that was in a loo! The woman had a syringe (shows you how long ago that was) and felt the need to explain that she was diabetic and injecting insulin, not anything else! I hope times have changed....
Heidi, that's fascinating about your grandmother and a shame she died so young. I've just been looking at the recommended books on the information thread - Northe mentions one about a young girl diagnosed before the discovery of insulin and the impact the discovery had on her life. thought you might be interested.
That sounds really interesting, I will look on the book section and find out the name and have a read .... We take so much for granted .. and to a degree presume insulin has always been around .. before the discovery if I recall correctly diabetics were put on a starvation diet and given the prospects of about 2 years in the best case scenario

So I say lets all bear this in mind and remember in fact how lucky our children and anyone with diabetes nowadays actually are to be able to live happy and normal lives, even when sometimes it doesn't feel like it. 😛
