do needles really really really hurt ?
Question:
Answers:
Since in the diabetes area I'm assuming you're asking about insulin needles. Todays needles are relatively painless MOST of the time. Some people are more sensitive in an area than others. For instance, I prefer my stomach, I don't think it hurts at all most of the time. I think the thighs are a little more sensitive. But then I have a friend who hates the stomach and prefers the thighs...we both agree the arms are painful! But you'll find others who don't think the arms hurt at all! The needles themselves are much finer than those you might have experienced in a doctors office for something like an immunization or antibiotic. They're also much shorter. MUCH shorter a lot less intimidating. You can also get insulin pens for a lot of the brands of insulin. They look like pens and you screw a pen needle on the end, very short, very fine and easy to use. I can honesly say that taking my blood sugar with a lancet device hurts more than a needle does most of the time. I don't like needles and they still are very intimidating to me, but the thought of it is much worse than the actual injection. If you're concerned because you might need to take insulin, trust me, you're really going to feel silly that you're afraid...even though, like me, you still get anxious when it's time for a needle. ;-)
