Message: <blockquote data-quote="noblehead" data-source="post: 333642" data-attributes="member: 11028">If it's any comfort LWA I don't like needles either.  I'm fine injecting myself but don't particularly like people injecting me or taking bloods, I do wonder if it's because we become control freaks in our own diabetes management and have a distrust of other people coming near us with a needle........I don't know :think: The only advice I can give is to look the other way and concentrate on nice things whilst they take the blood, it's in your own  interests to have your Hba1c and any other tests carried out so do try and overcome this fear if you can, perhaps letting the nurse/gp know beforehand might be useful too.</blockquote>
