I really hate when someone else gives me an injection. I've told nurses that they should give me the syringe because in all likelihood I've been doing it longer than they :) I started injecting myself in August 1969.<br /><br />Checking my blood sugar doesn't bother me. However having the venipuncture does because I have very small and moveable veins. Instead of using the veins in my arms, they now have to use my hands, which is beginning to hurt.<br /><br />I know I'll never stop being afraid of needles, but I also know I have to use them so I just do it. but then that's it I'm the one doing it. I'm sure if someone else was injecting my insulin I'd be a basket caseLRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670715983949140434noreply@blogger.com
