Hi Amelia, I'm Zach I am 10 I dont like the pen either. It pushes on me and it hurts. I have had type 1 for almost 2 years and I just started giving my own shots with the syringe in May. I dont mind the shots they dont hurt. My mom says they make a jr pen but I dont want to try it. My mom lets me make my own choice. Try the syringe you will like it.
thank you i don't want to use the pen. my dad says i don't have to use it any more.How do you feel when you are low.
I don't like the pen either. I don't like it because it is big too. I'm scared just like you are. I like the the insulin shots that are flat on the top, not the ones that are round on the top. I have Type 1 too. My blood sugar was low today at lunch - 77. I am never using the pen. It is way too scary!!!!
