Hiya, I'm type 1 on insulin via pen. I've only been on it since last August after going into a diabetic coma, I wasn't diabetic before!! I don't have any probs with the injecting side of things really. It was a shock but that's life, gotta get on with it! My advice is to get into a good routine when handling your gear, to keep it all clean,safe etc, protecting yourself, One thing that gets right up my nose though...... having to inject in public loos when eating out. I won't do it! I do it discreetly at the table and just smile at those who stare! Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine!
