I could give anybody and anything a shot, except myself. When taking allergy shots, had to have my husband do it. Then Doctor put me on Tanzium and the nurse tried to get me to inject myself and I refused. Made her do it, then my husband gave them. Then my insurance wouldn't cover Tanzium and I had to take Trulicity...still my husband gives them to me and Trulicity hurts! Then was finally put on insulin...Toujeo. Nurse tried to get me to inject myself and I refused. Nurse injected me, my husband did for 3 days. Finally, on day 4 I woke up at 4 in the morning and it took me 3 hours to psych myself up to inject myself. I injected myself in my stomach. What a relief! And it was painless compared to the glucose monitoring sticks I have to do twice a day....they hurt more!!! I have 4 grand Angels that I have to be on this earth for. It's just mind over matter. I always said I could never be a junkie because I had such a phobia of being stuck by needles. But, the insulin needle is so small, most times I never feel it!
