[QUOTE="HLW, post: 174118, member: 10252"] What type of insulin is it Sarah? I read a post on here the other day talking about lantus stinging, from a quick Google it seems it's because it's acidic. Also is the insulin warm enough? If it's cold it can hurt (or so I was told by the nurse), in this weather it might be too cold if kept on a windowsil or similar. I am pretty sure this is all in my head, eg I'm imagining it, but I find the Novofine 6mm needles go in easier than the BD 4mm ones, as if they are sharper and better lubricated. I guess it's possible they use a different lubricant though. It might be worth you trying different needles? [/QUOTE]
