@karen8967 it was so much easier than I thought it would be I also suffer from anxiety so I was scared it was going to hurt all I heard was a loud click and a tiny sting :D as I have anxiety this kind of thing is a big deal for me so I’m really happy with myself for doing it :D

Congratulations, Ziggy2017! You did good. :) I suffer from anxiety too, and I remember how terrified I was last spring right after dx, anticipating the first time I would have to stick my finger.

@SaskiaKC I remember the first finger prick I got from an actual finger pricker it hurt a lot less then when the nurse used a thing called a babies toe cutter (not sure if that was what they called it or being withdrawn from my morphine did this) it hurt really bad and my fingers looked like they had been sliced open :wideyed: ofcourse when I showed my mum and she told the (student nurses working in the intensive care unit) that they had to get something more suitable to draw blood
