[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 189237, member: 30851"] I expect you are not the only one to hesitate to "press the button " someitmes. After a while it all becomes routine. Best not to think about it for too long! II was given metformin immediately I was diagnosed and it caused problems with my eyes so I couldn't focus and my hands shook. I coudn't get the blood on the srip and by the time I did the meter had turned off and I had to do it all over again. Each attempt must have taken about 15 mins. This would have been bad enough at home but we had arranged to go on holiday , a coach tour of all things . Whatever I did and wherever I tried to test someone always managed to bump into me, bounce on the seat next to me. I don't think I had ever realised before how clumsy my husband could be! It was a nightmare. At least after reading this forum you will know why you are testing. I only knew I was esting because the Dr had told me to so he could work out my medication. [/QUOTE]
