[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2195286, member: 345386"] [USER=518372]@SMULPY[/USER] - I'm not T1, so won't offer advice on the diabetes side of things, but when I started self-testing, even though I have given many thousands of injections, in a former professional life, I hated doing the finger prick test. That moment of pressing the trigger seemed like a big step. In the end, I worked out a system where I'd line myself up and inwardly count, "3, 2, 1, ... and done". The "and done" was pressing the trigger. It seemed like the rhythms of the countdown made it easier to just do it. I'm sure you and she will find your own way forward, for something there's no choice but to get done. You're all going through a tough time, and it'll take time to adjust, but there's lots of support around these parts for you. God luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
