Deus said it much more politely then I could have. The question kind of upsets me for some reason. Just being honest.

When i was first diagnosed, i told them bluntly i would never inject myself and been stubborn i wouldn't give in, so my mum and dad had to deal with it, i was 12 and only on 2 injections a day.

Also my lads as they learnt about it from an early age and dealt with a lot. But eldest who is now 25 was taught by a professional on how to give insulin 17 years ago when i broke my right arm, so if i struggled with my jabs he knew what to do.
