HEhe, practicing on oranges sounds fun. I did my first shot in the endocronologist's office with the nurse practitioner watching. I didn't want to do it at all, but I didn't want to make a scene either. So I sort of just did it and it was WAY easier than I ever thought. Giving myself shots is probably the easiest part about being diabetic!! (And just think, I used to almost faint if I even saw a needle - I just forced myself to get over the fear and I'm fine now!)
