Shoddy treatment. She shouldn't have been turned away. The needles were in her KIT for God's sake! I agree with Megan. Shoddy treatment. She shouldn’t have been turned away.

I'm disgusted with the club.

I actually didn’t attend my Master’s graduation because I couldn’t carry my stuff with me and didn’t feel like fighting it.

And wonder how often THAT happens?

But there are legitimate health/public health concerns dealing w/ needles, blood borne diseases, biohazard disposal, potential for IVD abuse etc. That could be awfully daunting for a club to deal with. <br/><br/>The curious part is why now? What have diabetics been doing previous to this? I'm sure they've handled it well to this point. Hi Kathleen,

The curious part is why now? What have diabetics been doing previous to this? I’m sure they’ve handled it well to this point.
