[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1353826, member: 11028"] Check with your DSN first but you could try splitting your basal dose so that you don't inject the full 54u dose into one area, this would surely ease the discomfort a little. When I was on MDI I would mainly inject my basal insulin (lantus) into my bum which was nearly always pain-free, but you can also use your arms which is an alternative injection site for your Novo doses. Also, just be sure to use a new needle with each injection as this again will ease the pain. [/QUOTE]
