[QUOTE="Flakey Bake, post: 1185913, member: 71327"] Hi there, all good advice so far. I have learned a wee trick that takes the sting out of injecting, particularly with the basal, which can sting like hell. The sting is just a nerve firing an impulse. If you scramble that signal by giving yourself a good scratch (like you do if you have an itch) at a site very near to where you are injecting, you don't feel the sting of the injection; just the scratch sensation with is far more pleasent than an injection. I figure the nerves firing from scratching overwhelms the signal from the sting. It really does work for me or it certainly masks the pain from particularly nippy injections. I would be interested to see if it works for other too, or am I just a freak? [/QUOTE]
