If insulin shots hurt, I wouldn’t do them. ... but they have made the needles so thin, I literally cannot feel them. I don’t know if they go between nerves, or what... but I marvel every time I dose... it is incredible to see a piece of steel enter your body and you DO NOT FEEL IT.
That’s good when YOU do it.
When it’s the GOVERNMENT doing it, not so much...............
Drops instead of shots would be great.
My experience as well.
However, I heard from my doctor, who is well versed in the latest treatments, that a drug company was on the verge of completing the development of an insulin shot that diabetics would need to take only once a week. But then Biden clamped down on insulin prices. Because there is no longer money to made, the company discontinued its development of these shots.
Trade offs.
Drops that probably taste like **** to replace a shot with a tiny, tiny needle that doesn’t hurt? I think I’ll pass.
Well, I'd do them even if they hurt, but as you say the present tech has given us needles so thin you cannot feel them.
What I would wish for is to end the constant finger-sticks! Those DO hurt. Yes, my doctor knows about this thing you wear, which transmits to a smartphone. Two problems. 1.) I won't carry such an invasive device as an iPhone around all the time, and 2.) my insurance won't pay for the gadget anyway.
