[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2070556, member: 93179"] I wasn't actually needle phobic but I was completely terrified at the thought of having to prick my finger - I did a lot of research and ended up buying a Fastclix. It still took me a lot of courage to start using it, but certainly not having to see the needle at all was a very great boost psychologically and with the correct setting the prick doesn't necessarily have to hurt at al! However, for a while I still had to "close my eyes and think of England" to be able to use it but the idea of being able to manage my diabetes by testing reactions to foods was a very great incentive for me and helped overcome my fears!
