Often, when I'm talking to other diabetics about diabetes, and in particular monitoring, treatment, and therapies - people often drop their jaw when I say that I test on the average about six times a day. Six times a day, they say! How can you prick yourself that much? Doesn't it hurt?
To this, I simply respond, "The real question is - does it hurt less than a heart attack?"
Monitoring yourself using a blood glucose monitor of some type is the single most effective way to care for yourself. You must know where you're at in order to know how to treat yourself. Please, continue to monitor, no matter what the pain factor.
