A Question for all the Tumblrbetics

I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the end of January of this year, so it’s only been four months. Since the diagnoses my skin has gotten more and more sensitive. I can hardly give myself a shot anymore, and I almost cried when they took blood for my A1c yesterday. It hurt that bad, and another thing: my stomach has gotten more and more queazy. I used to be able to look at blood, shots, anything without feeling a thing, but now I can even watch it on television. I have to look away because whenever I see it I want to throw up. I don’t understand why happened.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal for someone with diabetes? Sensitive skin and queaziness?
