Just wondering who else let's their significant other inject them every now and then... Laura just did my Lantus... it tickles when someone else does it!!?

[buzzborne]

wont let anyone near me...!! was practically unconcious and i refused for my sister to do it... she had to guide my hand..!!
Mum has done it once when was 1st diagnosed and didnt like it at all..

the only time would be if i was COMPLETELY unconcious... i dont even like other ppl giving me the flu jab...!!

This is an interesting topic. I think I'll ask my wife tonight if she'd like to give me my Lantus too; it seems it'd be easier to give rather than my humalog in a pen. Although I doubt she will.

I voted for yes. I'm not dating anyone right now, but I have let friends (fellow nursing students) inject me, so I obviously would.

[grace girl]

I never thought about it, but I would let him. I would think it's harder to give someone else a shot than yourself...I wonder if he would do it? I'll have to ask.
(But, hey, if it makes Lantus TICKLE....well, that's worth looking into!)

Maybe it was the location of the injected and not knowing WHEN she would put the needle in... made it tense and i couldn't stop giggling lol.

I'm totally weirded out by the idea of having someone give me a non-insulin needle (e.g. flu shot), but have no problem with someone else giving me my insulin. A friend of mine is trained as an emergency medical technician (EMT), but doesn't work as one, so he jumps at the chance to give someone (i.e. me) a needle every now and then. It's funny b/c he's always worried about whether he's doing it right and if it's going to hurt me.

No, I don't even let my Dr draw blood for my A1C. I prefer to do it myself and he lets me. I know exactly where my veins are, and I have had people before stick me 6 times trying to find a vein. I refuse to let that happen anymore.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a nurse who was taking my blood for an A1C.

"So, do you have to inject for your diabetes then?"
"Yeah, usually around 5-6 times a day."
"Oh, I don't know how you do it. I couldn't manage sticking a needle in me that many times a day."
*sticks needle in my vein*
"Doesn't seem to stop you doing it to other people though..."

lol

Yes, I have let girls I have dated shoot me up. Only if they asked too. Come to think about it the girls that shot me up were the ones not worth having around. Go figure lol.

[parrotletzoo]

Are you kidding??? When we first met I thought she'd pass out the first time I injected in front of her. And I've never had a need for her to give me my injection.

Just asked hubby and he said no he wouldn't do it if I could do it for myself. He said he would only if there was no way for me to inject myself. Funny thing is, he's a volunteer firefighter (we're rural) and goes on many a medical call for others....

Glucagon yes, insulin no...

[David_S]

Yes she does my lantus all the time.

My hubby wanted to know what the needles felt like, so one night he took one of the syringes and started poking himself in the stomach, leg etc.! Then he made the mistake of saying, " this is no big deal, it doesn't hurt at all!"
