I was in a large board meeting after lunch when I realized I hadn’t bolused. I discreetly took my pump out, holding it just under the table and counted up the units I needed. The boss, seeing I was “up to something” stopped the meeting and nearly screamed, "Are you TEXTING???’ I am a 43-year-old professional woman. “Nope, just getting some insulin,” I replied, refusing to be humiliated. He didn’t skip a beat, went back to his notes, and never apologized. My colleagues all patted me on the back afterwards, though.
