[QUOTE="Bs0lth, post: 1410234, member: 385145"] Hi Prem51 Your message just about sums up where I am at the moment. To be able to get my ruptured appendix out, they gave me a sedative and gas and air before they could get a needle into me. I was literally climbing off the operating table trying to get out. I also was rushed into hospital with a suspected stroke (all ready had one) and the doctor on A&E gave me a teddy to play with while I was getting blood taken... It's the best thing anybody has ever given me...I still have it and it goes with me to every docs appointment :) I'm using a glucorx nexus machine to test my blood with doctor gave it to me, showed me how it works on himself and did my first bloods with it... It was nothing like having an injection or bloods taken, it felt no worse than pricking yourself with a sewing needle and that's what I keep telling myself :) The fear of insulin injections have really hit home and if I can put it off or stop the need for them entirely I'm going to test my blood and change my diet... It's got me focused. Saying that, I have two friends that both inject insulin, and both have told me that it actually hurts less to inject insulin than it does to test your blood, but, I really don't believe them and if staying low carb/sugar in my diet can stop me having to experience this myself I'm going to do it :) I truely understand exactly where your coming from, I'm just so pleased I found this forum, it's been a godsend the last coup,e of days [/QUOTE]
