poor kid. man i remember when i would cry when i had to get injections because it hurt so bad! i was only 2. sbe should get the insulin pump i got one when i was 8 and i loved it! its very easy to use! =)

Thanks for your comment. Two years old seems so little to be going through all of that. Maybe one day we'll sort out a pump for her. I think we have to learn a lot more first about how it all works. At the moment I'm reading the books by Dr Bernstein. Food for thought.

I use the same Novopen, They gave me the colourful one and the diabetic teddy bear even though i was 17 when i was diagnosed a year and a half ago lol. are you guys from NZ aswell?

[shariko2007]

Hi, yes, we are from NZ. You mean you didn't get the buzzy bee? lol

You are a brave girl and I'm sure your parent's are very proud of you.My daughter was recently diagnosed with Type1 and I found your video to be very informative and supportive.Thanks

[shariko2007]

Thanks, we are proud of her. She's taken it all in her stride and seems to cope with it better than I do! I, her mother! :-) I'm glad the video helped.

thank you hun I will be using this idea in a novel I am writing. Needed to see how its done

do you actually have to inject the insulin into your gut? I mean can't you just push in into your arm or something? Cause the stomach seems like the most painful spot to inject a needle!!! And do you have to check your blood sugar after like every meal and get insulin injected every hour?

@DaBoomz13 can lead to kidney failure, blindness, you are more suseptable to deseases and you heal slower infections are alot more dangerous and can lead to possible amputation of limps/apendages in extreme cases. low blood sugar (hypoglysemia) you can pass out and also hyperglysemia when the blood sugar goes too high I beleive you can go into a diabetic coma so yeah it does some harm and sucks balls

Hi im a type 1 diabetic too! I hate getting air bubbles in my pens :(

[pigrantom]

@shariko2007 she does some steps you dont even need, i am diabetic my self and there are no air bubbles thats just the pen and also when u inject you dont let go of the skin you just inject then when its finnished pull it out. also you dont need to tip it 20 times as only some ppl believe that but it doesnt do much.

[mrpowerrman]

why are u putting that pen up and down before injecting???and if u remove air after

adjusting the unit measurements u will lose upto a unit there,,,no??

please reply me?

[nickschu93]

[DaBoomz13]
