Have you checked your lancet thingamagig? Mine has 4 different setting and

if it is on the highest it hurts because it goes deeper into my finger. I

use #2 and sometimes #1 and that doesn't hurt at all!

The hardest thing was making myself give myself that first

shot. honestly, i would rather give myself a shot than test.

I am sick of testing. it hurts. lol

Hi Tina,

For me, diabetes is a very scary thing. As I am sure with many

others. It runs in my family. I am type 2. I'm afraid for my

children. One

is hypoglycemic and the other is borderline diabetic. The

lack of insurance/high co-pays is frustrating, the provider

cuts down the amount of strips i can get a month and charges

the same, i have to now pay for syringes, when before they were

free, etc, etc. they keep wanting to add more meds and I just

can't afford any more. so many people out there, doctor's

included, who say do this, don't do that, that's bad for you,

that's good. so confusing. And then you come to the conclusion

that you have to do what's best for you. Except, I don't know

what that is yet. With the help of this group and another, I

am slowly learning. I am insulin dependent, and I take meds.

The hardest thing was making myself give myself that first

shot. honestly, i would rather give myself a shot than test.

I am sick of testing. it hurts. lol
