Hi all,
According to a blood test result which I wasnt allowed to see - I have GD. So yesterday they gave me the finger ***** machine and it's not the pain in struggling with, it's the thought - its the emotional struggle with it - four times a day I sit at the table and cry with the fact in about to hurt myself - that's where my problem comes in. I know this is disgusting - but I picked at a scab this morning to get blood rather then do the test, does it matter where the blood comes from? Is there something associated with the finger? Has anyone else done something different? I'm also feeling quite cheated because as soon as I got he test and did my first one there I haven't ever had a high reading after meals - in fact im no where near a high reading - the fasting blood level in the mornings can be a little high - im happy with the diet and I'm finding it quite easy - but my emotional thought and feeling on that needle is something I can't bear in feeling depressed over it. Help :-(
