[QUOTE="joelcam, post: 340566, member: 23163"] [b]Re: New-ish to Type 1 & struggling with control, advice need[/b] Hi…I’m a T1 and have been for just over 3 years. I too hated needles but was able to quickly come to terms with everything by focussing on these facts. 1) Most of the time the needle does not even slightly hurt 2) When it does hurt it stings for a few seconds only 3) Injecting ultimately keeps me alive 4) I love my children. In your case, why not let point 4 by at the forefront of your mind and get yourself in order for you child? He will benefit from having mummy healthy and living to a ripe old age. The other choice is to carry on not managing your condition and risk leaving earth early. Those are the cold hard facts, the sooner you get in the right mindset the sooner you’ll realise that every single injection and finger-prick is in fact a blessing.
