I get what you are saying. She braces herself when its time for me to press the button. It is the anticipation. Sometimes I get, "I didn't feel a thing" Sometimes I get " you do it horrible" LOL I take it in stride. Trust me, I would rather swap places with her. I mean that with all my heart. Take care and God Bless. ~Deb~ Thank you Christin. I get what you are saying. She braces herself when its time for me to press the button. It is the anticipation.

I did use that while I was pregnant with Olivia (9 years ago), though, and that is one of the reasons I went off the pump in 2001. I did not have an inserter and it was awful! I now use the quickset with the inserter. It's not that it always hurts....it's that it might hurt (might being the operative word). I look at it this way - we all stub our toe or smash our fingers occasionally, dance around, say "owowowowow", then get over it. When I stub my toe I usually don't know it's coming so it doesn't seem to hurt quite as bad. For me, it's the fact that I'm about to possibly inflict pain on myself. That's my issue - I just don't like the thought of making it hurt. Thank you, Deb. Tell your daughter I pray for her, too! ps...not gaining weight, you two! <3 Hey all….I have to let you know that I do not use the silloutte now.

She will not insert it herself. I gladly do that for her. It hurts much worse in the belly than it does in the well, lets just say "her backside". I can only imagine and I understand why you put it off. When she and I dread the site change, I just remember, at least we are not giving shots 5 times a day. I am thankful for that. I actually asked her tonight if she would ever want to go back to the shots and she said NO WAY!!! God Bless you and everyone else with Type 1. I pray for you all every night.
