Hi, I probably cannot help you myself but I don't think it's clear from your post exactly what advice it is that your are seeking?
 
What type of injections? Is it for diabetic macular oedema?

Like @urbanracer I'm not sure what advice you are looking for but if its because of a change of the proffesional doing the injection then some nurses are capable and trained to do them xx

I've been injected with eyelea many times by nurses and its been totally fine, they are trained to a high specification by the opthalmology team to specialise in this x
 
@Helen40 I was exactly the same even though I knew they weren't as bad as you thought they would be lol, suppose I didn't have much time to think about it when I was started though as I received my first less than a month after being diagnosed Type 1 :( xx
 
Wow you poor thing! I'd been type 1 for 26 years when I started mine, gutted though as my eyes were the one thing I was terried of deteriorating, bad days and goid days. The injections have definitely delayed my retinopathy and oedema damage though. On this forum there's so much uplifting advice and real experiences it gives me a lot of hope x

My D consultant and the ophthalmologist both blame the drop in hba1c for my DMO (101 to 33) and even though I've had great control I still developed proliferative retinopathy in both eyes 2 years into my diagnosis, makes me feel pretty down if I'm honest xx
