[QUOTE="zacthedog, post: 1049900, member: 248052"] i faint at giving blood tests, have had needle phobia since being a kid, it used to take 5 nurses to hold me down when i was a child. I bought a tester on 31/12/15, diagnosed T2 on the 30/12/16, it took me around ten minutes to do my first test, i would start pushing the button of the lance and bottle it before the click! but after that i have been fine, even when it was cold and i had to prick myself about 7 times until the blood would come, funny storey, i managed to get a drop out, went to dab it on my tester and brushed a piece of kitchen roll and that took the blood straight off my finger! I did swear... Get testing, in less than a week you will do it as second nature, i really look forward to seeing what my BG is, as a newbie and getting it down to 'normal' levels, small pleasure i know but at least i was seeing results of my diet. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
