[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 202219, member: 17199"] haha, so she's sneakily cracking the whip :lol: It's funny how all nurses have different ways of doing things, mean ones, kind ones, funny ones. When i was about to do my first injection i had one nurse being all sweet and kind on one side, then another being quite harsh saying i HAD to do it and if i was hungry i'd do it. Sort of like an angel and a devil :lol: I'm still not quite sure which one worked haha! I do understand it must be hard to change a habit you do every day just like that, maybe i was a little naive and didn't think about it like that, i just really am freaked out at the though of re-using one and getting an infection or it breaking, i'm not the luckiest charm on the bracelet you see :lol: There was a woman on the DAFNE course and she injected through her clothes, i didn't want to say anything at first as i think i was the only one that saw, but after a couple of days i sort of said 'are you meant to do that' She was a larger lady and she told me she did it because she didn't want anyone to see her belly but only did it when she was infront of people. I felt quite sorry for her and promised not to tell anybody, then the same afternoon the nurse said the no no's of injecting and through clothes was one of them, i kept my mouth zipped though. she was a lovely lady but very very shy. Mind you i have an insulin pump now so i'd look very odd with a cannula through my t-shirt which of course i wouldnt be able to take of for two days :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
