Robert,
I have been a Diabetic for about 20 years now. I started taking all kinds of Mede and my situation was getting worse by the day. My doctor was constantly changing meds because my body was adjusting to them and after about one year they wouldn't work. Anyway, it got to the point when he recommended that I started getting the shots. My answer was "NO WAY"..... My excuse was that only junkies are shooting themselves on daily basis. To make a long story short, after I allowed this horrible disease to cause lots of damage to my body, I finally give in and started the shots about 4 years ago. Like everyone will tell you, if you use the pens, you are in more pain testing your blood than when you give your self a shot. I was giving my self about 9 shots a day. About two years ago, I switched to a insulin pump that is tubeless. The best thing I ever done. It is made by a company called Omnipod. I can take a shower, swim in the pool and go on with my life like I don't even wear it. In a mean time, don't be afraid of the shots and don't fight it. You ate going to feel much better once you start.
Best of luck to you!
