Doesn't It Hurt?

People say a lot of dumb things to Type 1 Diabeteics. 
I've heard quite a few personally, but at the top is "Does giving yourself shots hurt?"

Ladies, you can all understand the analogy I'm about to make here.
You've had your period for years now. Does getting period cramps stop hurting?
You're used to it now, so you can ignore the pain, but it still hurts.

That's what diabetes is like. I'm used to it so I can ignore the pain.
Does it still hurt? Yes! Of course it does! 
It doesn't stop hurting just because the pain doesn't show on my face. 
I'm just really good at ignoring it.
