[QUOTE="TimberYardBen, post: 2324400, member: 531906"] I agree it is as blunt as that and I've actually been trying to do just that this week since my post. Multiple tests per day and making strides with my rapid acting insulin at least once, if not twice a day. However, it is the one thing I have always struggled with and it really isn't as simple as it may seem. Please let me know if you've overcome this yourself, or if you are just stating a fact without having been through it (That's not stand off-ish, just it makes a difference :) ) As a background, I work in a male dominated and "Macho" industry and also have no other fears to speak of, I'm not naturally one to shy away from problems or issues but when I'm attempting to do injections and testing and I simply cannot do it at times its really not that easy. Sweaty hands, feeling dizzy and sick aren't ideal conditions lol. I'm happy with what I've done the last few days though and hope I can continue. I'm currently looking at self funding the Dexcom to see if that can help me :) [/QUOTE]
