[QUOTE="SewK8, post: 466569, member: 67490"] Hello I really relate to this. I have just spent 9 days in hospital (non diabetes related) and I am black and blue from them trying to put in canula's and from lines tissuing after a few hours. My tip is try to keep warm, hydrated (I was unable to drink hence the lines) and relax. They found that the lines used on babies work well for me to take blood but didn't hit the spot for any Iv's required. I have been rubbing anti inflammatory gel on the bruises which has help slot. Good luck and relax! Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
