[QUOTE="Wshelledy, post: 1563108, member: 435994"] I'm also new to the increased testing and injections. I wonder if you have someone in your life that can help? I struggle with blood and needles in general so my husband has stepped up. Somehow its easier to let someone else poke me than to do it myself sometimes. I have now gotten to the point that I do most of it but when its taking me 5 minutes to press the button on the lancet he recognizes my struggle and steps in. For me it seems to be hardest when I'm stressed about other things in my life. So I try to do a bit of deep breathing and meditation right before a poke. Keep trying and don't beat yourself up when you aren't compliant. Just start again! [/QUOTE]
