The struggle is real

Ok now it starts.  One full week in and the anxiety has taken hold.
It's ok if you laugh at me, my family does and so does my doctor actually, but I'm having a real struggle that I can't seem to get past. I have blood sugar anxiety!
It takes me anywhere from 10 minute to a half hour to prick my finger to get a reading.  This morning it was so bad, I could not actually check it.  I get sweaty, I struggle to breath, it's a real problem.  I give myself injections twice a day and have no real issue but this I'm not sure how to get past it.   If you could imagine for just a few seconds with me: I sit down meter in hand, I put the strip in the meter I get my lancet ready then I just sit there pen to finger and can't push the button.  You would think it should be a simple task, but I just cant. So I move it away and click it, then go to try again, and this cycle continues for awhile. Today I just gave up.  I know this is so crazy, I have to figure a way to get past this as i do need to keep track of my blood sugars.
