Miss Manners has a boy alongside t1 diabetes(he was diagnosed at the historic menstruation of twenty,) who helped pen the post inwards question. And according to their interview over at DiabetesMine re: the post inwards question. Mr. Manners does examination on a flat from fourth dimension time- which is interesting because that's non what was written inwards the post on diabetes etiquette that caused such a rumble inwards the diabetes jungle.
So yes, the produce know "jack shit" nearly diabetes - Even if that didn't come upwards across inwards their post.
Here's the thing: I believe if Miss Manners & companionship had chosen their words to a greater extent than wisely nosotros wouldn’t last having this word because at that topographic point wouldn’t receive got been such a blow up.
It would receive got saved a lot of heartache in addition to wound feelings in addition to it would receive got helped everyone reading their post had they shared their connectedness to diabetes.
And lets say Mr. Manners didn’t desire to break his diabetes, (he never stated that, but I totally larn that if it was the case, it’s his correct in addition to his diabetes) they, in addition to I say THEY because I’m nevertheless non exclusively sure who wrote the slice after reading the interview over at "The Mine" could receive got phrased the post inwards enquiry somewhere along the lines of:
After consulting alongside a fellow member of my identify unit of measurement who lives alongside t1 diabetes, I’ve come upwards to the decision Gentle Reader that testing inwards world tin brand others uncomfortable, but produce what y'all must, only reckon others unopen to y'all -yada, yada, yada.
Personally, I’m rattling glad he tests on a flat without ever running to the bathroom, but it would receive got been incredibly helpful, educational & honest had he genuinely shared that data on the post inwards the commence place.

The enquiry posed past times the PWD:
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am a human being of affairs who oftentimes flies both domestically in addition to internationally. I also hand to last an insulin-dependent diabetic. I currently produce my glucose testing inwards my seat. It does involve using a lancet device to larn a drib of blood to test, but is fairly unobtrusive. Of course, all lancets, alcohol preps in addition to examination strips are stored inwards my examination kit for proper disposal later.
Am I beingness rude to perform this examination side past times side to a stranger? Injections I perform privately inwards the plane’s lavatory. In the airport, I occupation the counter past times the launder basin, since most H2O closets receive got no room for insulin vials in addition to other supplies.
Many people look to stare in addition to resent the fact of performing such a component subdivision inwards this space. I receive got also had children ask, “What is that human being doing? Isn’t that a bad thing?” (They’re patently thinking of their drug pedagogy classes.) Am I besides self-conscious?Her response:
GENTLE READER: Absent an emergency, medical applications (like bodily functions in addition to grooming) are properly done out of sight — pregnant inwards individual or inwards a restroom — unless they tin last done then surreptitiously equally to last unrecognizable equally such.
Miss Manners does non object to a pill taken at dinner, then long equally it is non accompanied past times a dissertation on your cholesterol.The technology scientific discipline associated alongside diabetes is fast approaching this standard, although Miss Manners draws the line at drawing blood. Restrooms be to render a proper location for such necessary activities when away from home, in addition to those who occupation them receive got no trouble concern monitoring the respectable, if sometimes unaesthetic, activities of others.You may chose to tell children that it is a medical procedure, or ignore them in addition to allow their parents produce that. Miss Manners would promise that whatsoever parents introduce would also resolve to learn their children to last to a greater extent than discreet alongside their curiosity.
You tin read the whole thing HERE , last sure to scroll 3/4's of the means downwards inwards her column,Miss Manners relegated blood saccharide testing to the restroom when non at home. She made diabetes attention audio equally if it was something to last hidden in addition to ashamed of. Miss Manners is WRONG. Here's my alphabetic lineament to her - And I promise y'all write your ain in addition to post it on the website
Diaturgy , The D-Log Cabin, TextingMyPancreas have written fantabulous responses - banking concern jibe them out! And when y'all write a post/ response, delight go out a comment alongside the link in addition to I'll last sure to post it! 
Dearest Miss Manners:
Me thinks earlier you comment on diabetes etiquette to a reader with diabetes, you should walk a mile or 10 inwards people living alongside diabetes shoes.
Testing ones blood saccharide is a necessity, non a luxury in addition to should non last relegated to the shadows of dingy restrooms .
When 1 needs to examination ones blood sugar, it doesn’t affair where or when.
Diabetes doesn’t attention where y'all hand to last when you’re blood sugars are starting to caput southward or north.
MM, Why should those of us living alongside diabetes larn upwards in addition to examination our bloodsugars inwards a dirty, stinky, tiny flat restroom that may may or may non last spewing alongside bodily fluids, non to cite a shitload of germs - both literally in addition to figuratively.
Miss Manners, are y'all aware that the total of blood needed for to examination is less than the total of blood generated from hang nail?
Are y'all also aware that y'all are the 1 alongside the upshot - Not the somebody testing their blood sugar?
There’s already shame associated alongside having diabetes in addition to the fact that y'all are telling this PWD (person alongside diabetes) to shroud inwards a world restroom is non only ludicrous, but it’s damaging to that person’s self confidence in addition to owning in addition to controlling his ain diabetes. It's unsanitary in addition to it’s dangerous.
Would y'all propose that a woman rear breastfeed her kid inwards said dirty, modest and cramped restroom?
No, me thinks y'all would tell her to discreetly breastfeed her kid from her topographic point in addition to to produce it inwards the most unobtrusive of ways.
I believe your exact words on the plain of written report were:
“There are discrete ways to breastfeed. You don’t desire a adult woman to occupy a bath for a long fourth dimension because other people receive got to occupation it. I scream upwards it’s extreme to brand women occupation the bathroom. And it’s a rather unpleasant venue anyway. If the babe has to eat, the babe has to eat. But at that topographic point are discrete ways to produce it in addition to at that topographic point is sure no excuse for flaunting it.”
And inwards gild to alive your best life alongside diabetes 1 must examination one'sblood sugars over in addition to over in 1 trial to a greater extent than - Regardless of the where or the when in addition to who pray tell is around.
Same goes for administering insulin.
Again darling, if y'all knew anything nearly diabetes, you'd realize that flying causes stress in addition to anxiety in addition to both wreak havoc alongside blood sugars in addition to that flat bathrooms are less than sanitary, non to cite genuinely cramped.
It's quite obvious that y'all know jack nearly living the diabetes life in addition to yet y'all give advice on diabetes do's in addition to don'ts.
The fact that the somebody who wrote to was testing at all should receive got been applauded instead of condemned, discouraged in addition to shamed, which is what y'all were doing.
Every somebody I’ve ever encountered who lives alongside diabetes (and trust me, equally a Diabetes Blogger, I’ve encountered thousands) has ever done at that topographic point best to examination in addition to receive got their insulin for that affair inwards the most non obtrusive in addition to sanitary of ways whilst inwards public.
Miss Manners, did y'all genuinely verbalize to people living alongside diabetes earlier y'all published your answer, in addition to if so, how many?
Have ever attended nursing or medical school? Have y'all taken a degree at The Learning Annex nearly living the diabetes life.
What books receive got y'all read diabetes? I tin recommend several- Ping me.
And piece I manage that the development of diabetes technology scientific discipline has certainly evolved, I’d last remiss if I didn’t scream for out that said development allows people living alongside diabetes to examination wherever in addition to whenever they desire or demand to, last it on a plane, develop in addition to or automobile.
People tin examination their blood sugars piece sitting inwards Starbucks or on the beach or motion-picture present theater.
Miss Manners - I know that you’ve written many an article on the fine art of apologizing.
Me thinks (actually, me KNOWS) that the polite thing for y'all to produce would last to pose your coin where your oral cavity is in addition to offering a sincere in addition to heartfelt apology to all of the people living alongside diabetes that you’ve clearly offended.
Sincerely,
Kelly Kunik

So yes, the produce know "jack shit" nearly diabetes - Even if that didn't come upwards across inwards their post.
