[QUOTE="Emsley75, post: 641186, member: 115441"] What a shame, I've always hated other people doing it for me! Good that she lets you do it though, hopefully it means she is more likely to come round to it, there was a boy diagnosed at the same time as me and he used to run round the house and lock himself in the bathroom to avoid it! Quite often the doctors/nurses tell you to just 'stick it in' but I must confess to lightly touching the surface of the skin with the needle a little before I insert as I find I can tell if it is going to hurt from doing that. I also recently found this site about injection sites which helps to make sure you don't accidentally put it somewhere more painful: [url]http://www.bd.com/us/diabetes/page.aspx?cat=7001&id=7261[/url] I hope it is useful to you and your daughter [/QUOTE]
