[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1815441, member: 372717"] Looking at your previous posts I see that you're pregnant. (Congrats.) Most people get given pens, so I expect you will too. But an insulin pen is effectively a syringe, it's just wrapped in a much prettier and more convenient package. Lots of people go on insulin when they have gestational diabetes, and go on to get the hang of it and have successful pregnancies. You'll probably come off the insulin once the baby has been born. If you're finding the blood tests difficult ask the consultant if you can have a continuous glucose monitor (eg freestyle libre). They may not give it to you but it's worth a try. Good luck [/QUOTE]
