[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 33419, member: 11459"] HI Rebecca I was diagnosed just about 2 months ago and was in hospital for a weekend. When I was in hospital I couldnt inject to start off with (well, it is a bit of a shock to your system is it not :?: ). However, you very quickly become used to it and I actually find it more of a pain to take the finger prick Just make sure to discuss things like needle sizes with your nurse because the sizes I started of on have been changed to smaller, finer needles, which does make a different. It all depends what kind of insulin pen they give you and who makes it (I think). You are much braver than me, and asking all the right questions because I just about fell apart for three days! Whether you are 16 or 56, newly diagnosed or longer diagnosed, no question is silly. Have a good look about the board and you will see lots of different things about diabetes - if you feel up to it. Also, dont be frightened by what you read, it wont all apply to you!!! L [/QUOTE]
