Hi,
I was diagnosed with diabetes at the end on March 2020 and so all my life with diabetes overlapped with different levels of lockdowns and restrictions. As a result, even after a year and half I don’t really have experience living a normal-like life with diabetes and don’t know how to do many things that previously never required any thought or consideration. For example, since my diagnosis I never was out for more than a few hours and always got home by the time I had to measure and inject. I have no idea how I’d do those in a public space, and I’m here asking for any tips and practical advice.
A few simple questions to start with.

A few simple questions to start with.
- How do you measure blood glucose and inject insulin before meal in a restaurant?
- In a museum?
- On a train?
