[QUOTE="ljules93, post: 1076431, member: 274970"] Hey Jamie! I know for me if I don't rotate where I take my inject sometimes it hurts. Also as others have mentioned, you may need a shorter thinner needle. Since you lost weight you probably don't have as much fat or (flubber as I like to call it lol) in your stomach area. In my own experience,I found that sticking the needle a little slower alleviates the pain. Most times, I don't even experience pain anymore. It's not in your head, it'll get better with time. With diabetes there are good days and not so good days for every situation. I have recently begun a blog [URL]http://www.mytype2diabetesmanagement.com/[/URL] where I will be posting about my diagnosis of being type 2 diabetic, my experiences and how I have managed my glucose levels. I will post things I've done that were successful and I'll also post my failures. Visit my site, it's in the infancy stage but we can learn from each other. [/QUOTE]
