Not a fun thing to deal with. Shots - I can take them but to do it to myself - well that is another matter. I used to give shots to my mom when she needed them. I do hope you can find a solution to this problem.

I can tell you right now as long as I have known you that your not a chicken.<br />As much as I have been around shots and given them to others in my family including my son I would be just like you if the tables turned and I had to do it myself.<br />I hope that the post I did about Kaci did help you with this problem. If not send me your phone number and we can talk about it. lol<br />Seriously honey I am so sorry that your pills stopped working. I wish they could find another one for you. <br />Is someone giving you your injections now. Please tell me they are and that you are okay.<br />I will of course pray for you and I just know that you will over come this and do just fine.<br />Keep me posted because I am concerned about you<br />Love ya honey<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-90253854102905810052011-05-16T19:24:35.195-04:002011-05-16T19:24:35.195-04:00oh my goodness. what a horrible 'place' t...oh my goodness. what a horrible 'place' to be in! one of my blogger pals has type 1 diabetes. she belongs to a diabetes 'support' group, if you want to call it that. they get together and discuss issues and diet etc. is there something in your area that might be of help to you?TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-76707800651607209912011-05-16T00:45:40.430-04:002011-05-16T00:45:40.430-04:00first time visiting/commenting on your blog.

I don't have diabetes, nor does my husband, but our corgi does which requires us giving him two shots a day, morning and evening. I have to tell you, I never thought I could give him a shot but because he is a stubborn dog and I couldn't hold him while hubby tried to give him the shot (he squirmed too much) hubby had to hold him who could control him better and I had to give him the shots. It gets easier with each shot given, I can tell you that. Hubby had a needle phobia too and had to overcome it to give the first few shots before the dog started rebelling with me holding him. It can be done and I know you can do it! More than likely the insulin will help you feel better and get your diabetes under control which is a good thing since it carries lots of serious consequences if not in control. I truly do think you can do it! I have confidence in you!!!!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-20486106211449277932011-05-15T09:14:16.706-04:002011-05-15T09:14:16.706-04:00There will come a moment that you find the coura...There will come a moment that you find the courage to do it, I'm sure!

I had to inject myself with medication a few years ago as well, and found that for me, the best thing to do was to NOT to sit there with the syringe in your hand and continue to think about what you have to do--That makes it worse--Instead think of it like taking off a band-aid, just do it really quick and get it over with....I'm sending you lots of courage and strength, to do this.

I guess it's just like everything else, you have to do it once, to get over your fear - it is your health we're talking about here.<br /><br />Wishing you the best!<br /><br />Hugs!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.com
