I use the Lantus pen. There is no great mystery about giving yourself a shot. The doctor will tell you the number of units to take and how often. The pen has a dial on the end that lets you dial in the number of units to take. The needle is attached at the other end. There are several size needles available. Be sure to get the smallest one since you are gong to inject the insulin just under the skin. Mine are BD Ultra Fine 4mmx32G. (the insulin and the needles are separate prescriptions) Most of the time I don't even feel the needle entering my skin. You have several possible locations to inject yourself. I put mine in my inner thigh.
Lantus has a good site with instructions on how to do the procedure. There is also a full set of instructions in each box of pens. Lantus recommends starting at 10 units per day and then moving up until you reach control of the blood sugar.
Hope this answers some of your question s overcomes some of the anxiety about taking insulin.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
