Another member suggested tickleflex to me the other day after I explained my phobia of needles and how I'm struggling with injecting myself.
Now I have the dilemma of being scared of the tickleflex because you dont pinch your own skin before hand.
I'm just curious if anyone here uses one, and if so, do you pinch the skin at all, or do you just let the tickleflex do it?

Thanks, and sorry for all the questions over the past week. Hoping that week two since diagnosis will have life returning a little more to normal

I never pinch before injecting anyway, the needles now are so short so I don't need to :)
 
I've been using it now for just over a day. It started out well, but now I've had a couple of instances of insulin leaking out. I can feel the needle going in, and I'm pressing hard enough that it hurts slightly, so I dont really understand what's happening
