Does getting your blood tested for diabetes hurt?

Question 1
Does getting your blood tested for diabetes hurt?...  I'm 12 years old and my mom has diabetes and wants me to be tested. I'm getting blood drawn tomorrow and I'm REALLY REALLY scared!! Does it hurt? On a scale to 1-10?

Answers
1)   Nope! Sure doesn't. It's quick sometimes too. :) Scale of 1-10? 2. Good luck! Hang in there ;) - Scott C

2)   Its like a little sting. 3. Close your eyes. - Boris

3)   Have you ever had a blood test done for anything else before? it is no different from any other blood test and on a score for pain 1-10 it can be 0-2 depending on who does it - when I got my first diabetes test i had to go in the morning with nothing to eat from the night before i could only drink water, they take the first blood test and you drink a bottle of lucozade and wait 2 hours and they do another blood test to see how quick or how high your sugar levels rise. There is nothing to it, i get it done every 6 months and next one is august. Don't worry about it there is nothing to it if it hurts a little it is only for a second. - jackie m

4)   You should use avandia, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://mdcan10.notlong.com/4AALlIl - Veda Novara

5)   Having your blood drawn is a matter of anxiety rather than pain. The discomfort - I would not call it pain - is less than the discomfort from a paper cut. When the moment is at hand sit quietly, try to relax, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. The 'prick' sensation will last no more than a second. I hope that you do not have diabetes. - john e russo md facm faafp

6)   It does hurt a little, but not terrible. The worst person whoever took my blood was about a 5, and the best was about a 2. Hopefully, they'll just prick your finger. That doesn't hardly hurt at all. Depends on whether they are doing a three month study or not as to which they do. Good luck. Just breathe and don't watch while they do it. It'll be over before you know it. - darlarae

My heart beats fast and wakes me up at night.?...  I wake at night sometimes with my heart beating really fast, it's not painful and it beats very lightly, should i see a doctor or is this a common thing ?

Answers
1)   Possibly you are having a dream which makes your heart rate increase since you say it happens at night. If it is not happening during the day, I would assume something along these lines. Wouldn't hurt to talk to a doctor though. - lizards

Mosquito bites swelling up?...  Lately when I've been getting mosquito bites,the whole area of the bite swells up. I've never had this reaction before until this summer.
