Diabetes? I'm getting a blood test and...!


Question: Diabetes!? I'm getting a blood test and!.!.!.
i'm 13!. && I'm really scared!. I hate needles, i almost fainted when i got one at school!. I've had my nose pierced and all, and that didn't hurt!. But they stick the needle in your vein right!? and it's in there for like, 1-2 minutes!. and all my friends say that they almost screamed when they got it done, and i guess you can say i have a medium pain tolerence!. I was looking on youtube and she was getting tested for diabetes, and she got like, 5 different things to fill your blood in!. it was SICK!.

Anyway,
Does the needle go in your vein in your arm!?
and what's it feel like!? try your hardest to explain!.
i know it's like a pinch, but like, what else!?

Thanks so much, and sorry for so much writing,
i'm just really nervous!. i hate pain !Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If you were to pick a Rose and prick you finger at the same then I would say that would hurt more and just about as long!. Remember pricking yourself on a rose hurts for about 15 to 30 seconds after your prick you finger!. The number of vials filled depends on your doctor!.

I recommend you look away and have a friend or you parents distract you or have a conversation while blood is being drawn!.

dont worry whether you have diabetes or not getting a blood test is really simple!. Yea it may seem kinda freaky aneedle staying inside of u for a minute or so!. but it doesnt hurt that much!. The needle goes in to ur vein on one of ur hands below the palm and it just comes out and the 5 different things u reffered to thats filled with ur blood!. they are probably just little test tubes or something that are sent off to different parts of the lab to get tested and stuff!. And if you really are that scared!. Theres a thing called a butterfly needle that is used on infants and baby's when they are born that they could use!. But it depends on ur situation!. anyway!. good luck!.

The needle does go into your vein in your arm!. There is no way else to explain it, it does feel like a pinch, it may hurt a little bit but not heaps!.

It is a little uncomfortable!. I have taken blood from many people, some can tolerate it better then others!. Usually when getting tested for diabetes, they only need 1 vile of blood!. It should take about 30 seconds!.

The nurse taking your blood is highly trained and knows what they are doing!. It is an everyday thing to get a blood test!.

The nurse will try and find a vein in your arm!. She will then put a strap on your arm to make the vein pop out a little bit so she/ he can see it better!. They will then carefully stick the needle into the vein, attach a little vile and it will fill up with the blood!. She will then remove the needle, give you a band aid and tell you to put a little bit of pressure on your the spot!. It should stop bleeding or not bleed at all quickly!.

It may leave a little bruise but that's about it!. There is nothing to be scared about!. You'll be fine!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
