hello Valeriescake

You have to think that if injections improve your life it will be worth it!

Have you tried a diet and exercise approach along with your current meds?

Lots of us here have had really good results with diet.

Welcome to the forum. Why does your nurse want you on injections ? Are you struggling with BG levels ? Have you discussed other options maybe ? If not, the needles are tiny and don't hurt. Good luck, Mo

not good at moment but getting back into it a lot of stress in my life at moment at work told her this i know i have got to do it
 
OK, so these injections are not related to diabetes ? I'm a little confused, sorry. Are you managing your BG levels OK but these injections are to help lose weight ? Are you worried about the new drug or just the injection ?

they are up at moment yes its a new drug but it does something to help with it she said itsjust side effects i think but had them with tablets as well
 
OK, I can't comment on where it will be injected but they will explain everything. I can also only comment on insulin needles which are micro fine, 4mm length and virtually pain free. Hope things work out OK for you.
