| | | I get what your saying about being "lazy" and not wanting to do your insulin and blood sugars. I'm the same way. Just recently I've began doing it right, and let me tell you I fell 100x's better than I did before =) |

| | Not being able to take a break from it all when going through difficult times which are not related to Diabetes 
I've just been there and done that... I feel tons better now though!
But during that tough time, i didn't test as much as i normally do, and i was constantly on the high side, but didn't have the energy to correct it most of the time

To get "the bad news"
I don't know yet... But this far, everything that includes needles is quite difficult, I am very scared of needles

That's the main reason i was relieved when i was diagnosed type 1 when i was about to turn 19... No need to worry about getting type 2 later in life I prefer being a pincushion with freedom, than having to watch every carb because there's no way to correct highs
Sure, have to poke myself with needles sometimes up to 20 times per day (testing and injections put together), but it's so worth it

I am having about 2-3 injections and maximum 2 tests (usually one in the morning)... 3-4 only in the difficult days... sometimes I do prefer not to eat then to see another needle...

| | | I guess for me it is the fear and I am trying to fight that fear with knowledge. My father died from diabetic complications 2 years ago (he had a heart attack or stroke while they were amputating his OTHER leg).
I am trying to learn as much as possible and that is why I like this forum soooo much!

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago from today with type 1. Sometimes, I have trouble injecting myself with the insulin. I don't know what it is, but sometimes I just cant put the needle in without getting scared, even though I have an extremely high tolerance to pain. Everyone says its going to get easier but it hasn't. Is there something wrong with me? |
