[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2570771, member: 264425"] If it stings it could be the Lantus itself. It does have a reputation for that. Try injecting in your bottom. I always do a long acting like Lantus (now on Tresiba) in my bottom. Changing sides each week. Plus you are not watching the needle go in. Plus the needle size doesn’t need to be above 4mm and you shouldn’t need to pinch flesh up. You can still dig nails in if that helps. [/QUOTE]
