Dear Diabetic Diary

Last night was a bit of a struggle due to the levemir injection before bed! But I guess everybody has their ups and downs - whether they are diabetic or not. I found the best way to cope with injections is to just sit down and do it, don't think about anything else, just do it - I do know that is easier said than done! Also, you need something to make you want to do the injection - so if it is your breakfast, lunch or dinner injection you should doing before you eat, that way you want to go and eat your food so you will just do it. However, the levemir or what ever night time insulin you might have is always the hardest one because there is nothing to make you want to do it - my favorite method is putting something you really like to eat in front of you and make sure you don't eat it until you have done the injection, that way you can inject yourself without frustration until it is second nature to you...
