Hi Megan,

I find that some areas on my tummy hurt to inject into more than others, so got to know them and don't inject where I know it will hurt more. I find that closer to the belly button and on the outer edge of my tummy hurts more too. The other thing I do is just jab in it quickly (but not with too much force of course!) and don't hesitate, if you stick the needle in slowly it tends to hurt more. Also make sure that you alternate injection sites, if you go back into the same spot it hurts more too I reckon.

I'm also diabetic, so still doing injections and will be forever, but this is what works for me all the time and also did when I was doing IVF HTH and heaps of good luck!
