My daughter three years old, and diabetic. She usually has about 3-6 insulin injections a day. I hold her facing me, with her legs around my hips, then pin her arms with mine so I can give her the injections. She is still small enough that I only give them in her legs and hips. I was wondering if anyone else has a child that recieves injectons, and how do they position the child to do so? My method seems to be working fine, but when she goes to daycare or school the person giving the injecton may not feel comfortable doing it the same. This is why I ask.

Getting my child off insulin is not an option. She is type 1 diabetic, which is genetic, not type 2. She was diagnosed over a year ago, and unless there is she will always be insulin dependant. We already know what to do and how to take care of her diabetes, I am just wanting to know of diffrent positioning ideas.

Sorry for the typo above. I meant unless there is a cure.

I would set my child on my lap so, that way he doesn't get so scared and I will just explain to him that the shot will only hurt for a few minutes like just a small prick on the finger, and then I inject him in the butt.
