I know how you feel sometimes you just feel like having a fish supper! However stick with it it is worth the sore fingers and occasional bruise.

@dex44lego9 Your'e doing o.k. by the sound of it.. 30 years, I'm in my 3rd month and it's all I can think/talk about most of the time.. my friends and colleagues must be getting sick of hearing it all. Yes I accepted it, but there's so much to learn so it's a little exciting/frustrating/annoying. Injecting 5-6 times a day is no more of a pain than having to shave each day. There's the emotional rollercoaster stuff and the constant glucose balancing act and having to take your gear everywhere stuff to think about but hey.. things could be so much worse. Thankfully they aren't.
