Quick question.

Where do people find the comfiest place to inject insulin???

It's still hurting when I inject my slow releasing insulin into my things but I don't know where else to do it. Anyone got an advice??

Thanks x
 
Bum cheek, I find holding pen under my armpit for a few minutes heats it up and it is less likely to hurt
 
I have injected in my stomach which I find less painful,however I find different size needles can help with decreasing pain especially in the thighs I use 4mm needles which I find to be the best for painless injections and making sure u inject in the fattiest area of your thigh usually the top of your thigh is the least painful. Hope this helps.
