[QUOTE="Swillbos, post: 2146107, member: 395397"] I can completely empathise! I have been injecting for almost exactly the same amount of time. Rationally I know the quicker I inject, the faster it is all over, also I know it doesn't hurt.....there is just something almost mesmerising about looking at that needle that leads me to hesitate and then go in unnecessarily slowly. I am also prone to bruising and am sure that makes it worse. I am not sure if I read somewhere about injecting to the beat while singing a favourite song? Think I might give that a go, maybe starting with Bee Gees "Staying Alive" - not only true of insulin, always makes me laugh thinking about my favourite episode of the American Office :) Good luck x [/QUOTE]
