A bit bummed
I’m a bit bummed had an appointment for GD and now have to take insulin twice a day. I don’t care for needles and shots so now I’m in a dilemma. It’s was hard to prick my figures without panicking a bit now I have to stab myself twice a day to regulate my sugars. I feel like crying 🥺😭.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking
I got given insulin yesterday and was dreading it. Did my first two last night and this morning and it was okay. It’s not painless, but doesn’t hurt much at all, but it’s not as much as a sharp shock as the finger prick one.
@Rachel Where are you sticking yourself
@Jo'Nique I’m doing my thigh, alternating one in the morning and the other in the evening. The nurse said you can also do your bum cheek (if you can reach) and also the top of your belly by pinching the skin. I can’t reach my bum cheek with bump and I didn’t want to inject my belly.
@Rachel Thank you I will try that. I’m was scared about the belly too.

Aww I know it is scary but honestly, you feel insulin ones even less than the finger prick ones. Maybe someone can help you do them at the start until you get used to it?
