I can remember when I had to inject insulin (T1 22yrs) for the very first time, I was petrified. The health carer showed me a video which explained areas to inject and how it doesn't hurt etc. then it showed a little 6yr old injecting insulin....that was it for me I wasn't going to be upstaged by a 6yr old so I took hold of the srynge which had already been prepaired and wham in it went....I let out a piercing scream and danced around the the clinic cursing all and sundry...they lied it flamming well did hurt.
Today though with the insulin pens it's OK though there are times when it can hurt a little, even after 22 yrs and over 1,400 injections a year I never get used to it totally, but I'm a bit more braver now.
