[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 1527595, member: 420515"] Oh yeah, I remember that stage. I spent a memorable two hours sitting in my dad's dining room with tears streaming down my face, unable to even get the needle close to my skin. You are not alone. I got better at injecting by talking about it over and over, with my psychiatric nurse and my diabetes nurse, so do bring it up with your health care team. If you can't handle injections, are you going to be OK with being permanently attached to a pump? That was what kept me away from a pump for years, the thought of tubing attaching me to a little boxy machine. There's more bad thoughts, but I don't want to start you on a new phobia The dyslexia is going to slow you down to begin, at least (bet that's not a surprise), but if you can manage the newer mobile phones, my pump isn't more complicated than that.
