Hello!
I'm new here... was diagnosed in December 2009 with T2 Diabetes but later in January, they diagnosed me with T1. It's been horrible so far... Emotionally, it's been like a roller coaster ride!!!
I try to be tough and show my family and friends that I'm okay.... but sometimes, I just want to CRY and SCREAM. Arrrgggghhhhhh..... I really hate taking insulin shots!!!!
anyway, I hope I can find friends who actually "understand" and "been there, done that!"
ya i know exactly how you feel, I was just diagnosed april 9th type 1 ...I really hate the insulin shots too...I have to just not think about doing it and then i can do it but if i think about it too long it makes it very hard...
What how can not like being pin cushion!!! LOL Just kidding. I have had a couple of times of standing there needle in hand and crying. I was dx'ed aug./08 so I am still pretty new. The only thing that's a little different is I was 52 in ICU and DKA. And yes I understand it and I am there with you. Oh, almost forgot!!!!
Welcome to Juenation!!!
Hi dimplesjc,
Well 1st of all I would like to welcome to juvenation. And we have all been in your position at one time or another, I just had my 14th anniversay yesterday and when I have to give my self a shot I still cry....and very much scream about it.
But it will get easier and hopefully less painful for you, the dr's might keep you on daily shots(MDI) for at least a yr or so and may give you the option at that time to decide if you want to start on a pump.
Keep your head up and we have all been there and done that, and we will be there when you need someone to chat with, rant to and even have a melt down to.

Welcome to Juvenation......I think it is safe to say that we have all been ready to scream and probably yell obsenities about finger pricks and insulin injections!!! I know I certainly go there at least twice or three times a month! You have come to the right place for great information, advice, and support! I love it here!!!
