Today I was told I had to start insulin as my A1c was 12. I’m 30 and while I’m out of shape and overweight... not by that much. I’m 5’6’’ and 175 pounds. I don’t eat a ton of sweets and sometimes non at all. My diet is poor but not any worse then anyone else’s. I eat fruits and veggies and a good mix of white and red meats. I’m so confused.
Now to the funny part:
Today in the dr office getting my first shot of insulin, learned how to use this pen thing, held it infront of me. I had to put it down and the nurse gave me a garbage can because I got super nervous and nauseous. Then seconds later I passed out into the garbage can. It’s sucked, but it’s pretty fun now that it’s over.
Good time to mention I have a severe mental thing against needles. This is going to be something fun trying to get off.
Nurse ended up giving it to me in the back of my arm which I was fine with because I couldn’t see it.
Just thought I’d share my misery, confusion, and funnies.
Thanks for reading.
