I learned how to give myself insulin shots today.  I didn’t actually have to do it to myself but I did give a shot to a little rubber pad.  The needles are very small…that doesn’t help me too much.  It still has to go into my skin.  Bill learned too just in case I chicken out.  I think I will be able to do this.  I didn’t think I could prick my finger several times a day either but now it is no problem.  The first time will be the worst…after that it will be easier.  The good news is that I will probably only have to do this for a day maybe two.  After that it goes back down.  After all of this treatment I should be able to control my sugar with diet and this is definitely motivation to stick with it.  Tomorrow I have blood work that will show if I have to have more shots or if I can go ahead with my treatment on Monday.  The lab will probably take a day to process.  They are supposed to call me and let me know if I have to go on Monday or not…before we make the drive down.
