Hardly!

A wrong attitude to have. Considering what will happen to you IF you did not take the meds, I would be more positive and say it was a "Life Saving daily ritual". Your attitude towards diabetes management IS important

I say this as a 71 y.o with Type 1 diabetes since 1964. Glad to take my insulin several times a day along with other meds - and pricking my finger at least 6 times a day. Still doing unsupported bicycle touring - with a very short 7-day one in France next month.
