hey mp5 don't they have like needle-less 'shots' that you can administer to yourself now? I thought I saw it on a commercial with a jazz guitar player who didn't want his fingers to be pricked.
You might be talking about the blood testing that requires one to prick themselves to draw a drop of blood and place it onto a chemical strip. I have heard of various methods that are are still being evaluated for this, maybe they are already in place already but I'm a bad boy because I tend to not check my blood sugar (I'm lazy). As far as the administration of insulin, there is talk of an inhaler version of this that would mean no more insulin shots, but again this stuff is still being tested I believe. Some people don't need shots at all, they can manage themselves with pills or just simply by careful control of their diet.
