Knock the kid to the floor, capture him with your feet (at this point, he might bite, so hold him face down). Stick the needle into the insulin bottle (oops, forgot to wiipe and warm it), blow the air into the bottle, turn it upside down and draw out the insulin....oops again, not enough in the bottle to cover the dosage, but jab it in your stomach anyway. At this point, it might be a good idea to let go of the kid, I forgot what I was keeping him from anyway. You also wonder if you should get a new needle and draw out the few units you were short, or go see why the kid is being so quiet. Go investigate the loud noise in the other room. Answer the telephone, clean up the mess on the floor, see who is pounding on the front door, and the kid is hungry. Fix lunch and test...wonder why I am so high this afternoon. Having days like this frequently, I just take my injections using as few steps as possible.

Penny, I sorta can relate to this, I babysit 3 days a week for a 3 yr. old,sometimes more,but man those days can really be hectic. Do you also have to deal with an unhappy husband,who "bee -yatches " all the time? I am stressed to the max at times,I don't know what to do,sometimes.
