Aussienic- lol hun, and to think I was considering letting my DH have a go,lol. I will have to think twice now, lol. I let him do the finger one one day and in all honesty he took way too much pleasure in it. Ohhh and it didnt work the first time so he did it again. lol. men. Thanks too about the less painful side of things, that is what was getting me more nervous. I can tolerate needles, but giving it to myself was freaking me out. I think I was ready to burst into tears when the Dr told me he wants me on insulin. Even though I was somehow expecting this outcome. hugs
I really did cry when I was told I had to start giving myself insulin. I even said I don't think so She did want to me to practice in her office but I said no and cried on the way home. Just a tip.. When it hurts a little in your tummy go for the thigh. Sometimes when the insulin goes in it might feel a little stingy but not much just like hey and then gone. (if that makes sense) I did get a few tiny bruises on my tummy but I was on insulin with my last 2 pregnancies well before 20 weeks so I had a lot of needles to give

Oh and it most definetly went away for me within 2 hours of birth. I was so amazed by that. and I have no traces of diabetes at all..
