My experience with fear, anxiety and stigma with Diabetes.

The biggest fear I had was before I started injecting, I have to say, because like I said, I wasn't keen on injections. The idea that I had to stick needles into my tummy or bits of my body was just not something I wanted to do. But the team that was working with me, the nurses, they were super supportive. And once I did it, that all went away. Have I had any fear since then? I haven't really. Because if I feel that I don't understand something, I ask. That's how I deal with it. Obviously, everyone is different. But for For me, the biggest fear is not knowing and not understanding and asking people and I prefer to ask the team, the team that helps me then to search on the internet because internet is a wild west. You need to have a source that's trusted and right now for me the source that I trust the most is my my hospital team and I would ask them and again I've been very lucky that I've been I had I had consultants and nurses and especially nurses actually who are tolerant enough to answer all my questions and it really helps
