Are You Scared of Needles?

No choice. If you are an insulin dependant diabetic either you get over your fear quickly or you have an extremely difficult time keeping yourself healthy.

I recall as a young boy having trouble with needles but by the the time I needed to take shots everyday I was over it. It is a very small needle and just goes under the skin. Sometimes it does hurt but with practice and confidence you can reduce those incidents.

I am so used to needles now that if I get my blood drawn I will look directly at the needle and watch where it is going. No fear.
