Problems with finger prickers: small amounts of pain(sometimes), infections, loss of feeling in fingers, constantly having to find a side of my finger isn't saw or overused and lots of red/black marks.

Problems with Injections: quantities of insulin i.e “how much to inject?”, small amounts of pain(sometimes), drawing blood from poor selection of site, infections, bruises, red marks and changing sites to avoid this (thighs/stomach).

Problems with insulins: too strong/too weak, cannot mimic pancreas, side effects i.e depression (unproven) and can cause weight gain.

lol this is a miserable post, but through all of this we suffer and still lead normal lives. It’s not all doom and gloom, there are lots of things that can be done to improve these "problems" and are experienced by some but not by others. I am sure there are other problems, I just can’t think of anything else at the moment.
