[QUOTE="millymolly, post: 88739, member: 20700"] I have been a diabetic for 38years and know where she comes from. Needles need to be sharp and changed every injection time, also vary sites from arms to abdomen to legs. I still hate diabetes and wish there was a cure but I dont think there will be one in our lifetime. Today I started on a pump which takes away the five injections a day and replaces it with a canula which only needs replacing every two to three days. You have a steady trickle of insulin all day and you top this up when you eat. It is hard work to start with cos you need to work out a basal rate (steady dose) so it means lots of blood testing. Eventually it will be a lot easier and the pump can even run via remote control. Speak to yor diabetic GP about this. Mandy [/QUOTE]
