I think the biggest issue I have with injecting is remembering to take my insulin pen with me wherever I go. I always keep my pen and testing kit together as one is not much use without the other. Mislaying them is another issue. It doesn't happen often, but causes major inconvenience when it does. Some people are self-concious about injecting in public, but I got over that many years ago. Sometimes the injection hurts, which is annoying. I guess changing the needle every time must be a bind too, but also stopped doing that a long time ago. I can't think of any other "issues" with injecting insulin. Finger pricking has always been a nuisance and I am sure we all look forward to the day when monitors are non-invasive. But a new system needs to be cheap, non-invasive and to provide real-time monitoring to be an improvement on the current finger-pricking modus operandi.
