Not so sure about the Novo It might be the ingredients the insulin is suspended in that causes it. A change of insulin might help but given you are only 3 weeks in maybe not a great idea yet.  I know you are on fine needles but maybe try larger size so they go deeper into subcutaneous? Maybe worth a try.Also, are you getting more stressed about it and maybe becoming more averse to injecting? Although the stinging may be related to the insulin, the insulin wont cause problems with getting the needles in, in the first place. I would speak to your nurse, if you have one, check injection techniques etc. Not suggesting you are mentally ill with a **** technique (honest) but is all I can think of at this time. :wink:</blockquote>
