[QUOTE="candy1567, post: 97525, member: 12897"] Hi All I have a real prob injecting i use Byetta twice daily and i dont have a problem with putting the needle into me, what i cant do is press the button to inject the meds. Yeah i know it seems silly, its the same when i test my blood, i dont use the pen to prick my finger i use the lancet on its own. I have tried and tried and have put the needle into my leg numerous times but just can not press the button and before you laugh am a 42yr old professional woman and would regard myself as an intelligent and informed creature!!!! but think this is some sort of mental block, i physicall start to shake and can not bring myself to press the button i know it sounds stupid. how i got round this was to have a fantastic partner who injects me, yeah he has great delight in stabbing me and i now think he has a smirk when hes doing it!!!! (jokin) have asked if i can have the Byetta in a syringe to try it as i have no prob with pushing a plunger but DSN said nope. Well have found a solution to this but i do wonder what will happen if i have to take my injection at set times as with the Byetta i do have a little bit of leeway. Juliexx [/QUOTE]
