Now I'm on Lantus I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I kinda pinch a few inches on either side of the belly - kind of ahve to gid my nails in a bit to 'redirect' feelings - this is thebonly way I can do blood tests too. But I can't figure out why some days are painful. Any advice on technique or tips would be greatly appreciated- cheers</blockquote>
