Message: <blockquote data-quote="Finnlee" data-source="post: 2561812" data-attributes="member: 557648">If needles are an issue, you could look into safety needles. The needle is covered so you don't see it at all. It's obviously not needle-free, but could be easier if you don't like the sight of needles. I know there may be other reasons you're after needle-injections.As [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] said, the normal (non-safety) needles are pretty small. Mine are 5mm and the safety needles they used for me at hospital when I was diagnosed were 6mm (I still have a few). When I first got home from hospital after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, it took me a few minutes to psych myself up for each injection. It's tough at first, but it definitely gets easier.</blockquote>
