It's a big step to take injections without help...
When I was first diagnosed someone always had to pinch for me but I'd inject myself... especially when it came to arms... so when I wanted to be truly independent I stopped injecting my arms for a looooong time... I remember the first time I injected in my arm without any help though and I was so excited... keep up the good work!
Hey .
Congrats on your first injection by yourself ! :)
I've been a diabetic for only 2 years , and even tho I USE to be sacred to death of needles , the first night that I found out I was diabetic i gave myself a injection. I was amazed of myself too! :)
and yeah, again Congrats ! & all the best to youu!

Ellie! That is so exciting---you are awesome! Ah! I think crying from being incredibly proud of yourself is PERFECTLY COOOOOOOL!!!!!! Pinching is usually how doctors instruct us to give injections--yes. Just remember to let go before you take the needle out, otherwise some of the insulin might be pinched back out too!
So cool.
Thanks
i think nxt time i need to remember to let go pinching lol
as a bit came out but i know why now!
thanks ginger!!!!

Yeah, I hate when insulin comes out! More so, I get annoyed when it bleeds a ton and I don't notice...and then I've gotten blood on my t-shirt, on my coat... :) hahaha. Yuck.
I've been uping my exercise amounts a lot lately, so as usual, it throws my blood sugars a little out of whack until I get everything adjusted properly. I find I need much less long-acting insulin when I'm in the gym a lot. This morning I ended up testing my blood sugar 5 times just to keep an eye out! I felt nuts! But it's all worth it, right? :)
