Can a diabetic person administer his shot of insuline in a canteen with colleagues around?

Asked by rebbel (35550points) September 8th, 2011

A colleague of mine does this occasionally.
He measures his blood and then takes his shot pen and lifts his shirt to insert the needle in his body.
I am not at all sure if this a thing that one does in a private space or if it is okay to do this in a crowded area?
I take medication myself and if I am in a group of people I try to do it bit out of sight more out of shyness and to not attract attention.
So I am at loss here.
What is the etiquette around this issue?
