Once had to stop a woman in a McDonald’s from taking my friend’s insulin because she thought it was drugs. Legit tried to snatch it out of her hand while she was taking the injection. I’d like to pretend we had something clever and witty to say like this, only really managed “she’s diabetic you stupid bitch” before a staff member stepped in.
Turns out it’s pretty common for people to be uncomfortable with insulin shots, my friends had waiters ask her to not use her medication and gotten dirty looks from strangers. It’s quite shocking that this happens to almost every insulin user at least once considering how common diabetes is, but hey, ignorance is the most infectious disease there is.
