I know it sounds silly but I get so panicky when I have one this morning and it is like my head turns into a whirl wind and I cannot think. I go all dizzy then I feel faint. I hate it so much. I had gall stones last year and had loads so thought I would be used to them by now lol. i have had operations before but still can not stand them. Is anybody else like this with them and needles or with anything else having the same or similar symptoms? Or if you managed to cope with these things. Please let me know how. As I might be pregnant and so I am due to go thru lot of more well fingers crossed anyway were trying for a baby and I have the systems and am 3 day's late. Thanks for reading.

I used to be scared of blood tests/injections before but since i've got diabetes and i needed to check my blood sugar three to five times day, i'm not afraid of them anymore.. i check my blood sugar myself and i even do the injecting of insulin without anyone's help.. yes, i'm injecting insulin right now and i'm really hoping that it's just for now.. i'm going to undergo another blood test and i'm praying that the result would be the same as the first test.. my first blood sugar test was okay but since my doctor wanted to confirm if it's true/accurate, he requested me to have another test for that..
