Started on injections Monday this week. So far am not able to inject myself! My wife is doing the injections.
I've looked at Wev Advice but nothing helps.
I can't rely on her being here every day!
I'm on one evening injection of slow release insulin.

I now use a Tickleflex. It puckers the skin and you can't see the needle( my main issue)

I'll try saying " Girl you Got this" and see how it works. I'll get back to you!

I had to start injecting B12 shots in my arm. I hold the needle up to my arm and say girl you got this, do it and get it over with. It helps me to overcome my phobia.
