Diabetes in children frustrated by fear of needles

I agree with that one 100%.

When Carol was diagnosed, at the hospital they only showed me how to do it. They never even tried to get Carol to do it at all. In the end it took Carol 2 1/2 years, a visit with the psychiatrist and special pen needles, before she could inject herself. I don't think Carol would be able to do it, if she had the normal pen needles.😱
