[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1753734, member: 429870"] Well, when I began using my meter I was VERY nervous and so wasted several strips before I got the hang of things. However, going on a course would have used up far more of my precious time than a bad quarter hour in my bathroom. On the other hand, there must be people out there who feel much worse about sticking a lancet into themselves than I did. Being phobic about needles and blood is a very common problem. For them, getting started with support on a course might be the only way they'll do it at all. IMO we constantly forget here that we are a self-selected band (I was going to say, elite, but that's too boastful!) with very particular strengths and competences AND we have the support of each other, which most newly diagnosed people don't.
