After my dx with GD, I was referred to a diabetic educator and she gave me a meter, resource book and guidelines tailored to fit me. I send them my numbers each week using GB and I also send med logs with that. I am high risk due to age, high blood pressure and now GD. Being a nurse helps with taking the insulin shots. Ask for the insulin pen rather than vials and syringes if your insurance will cover it as it is so much easier to use and does not need to be refridged like the vials. Also ask to be referred to an educator. They are a valuable resource. Good luck. I am sure you will do fine with the shots once you learn what to do.
