[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 390476, member: 13451"] What size needles is your mum using? You get different sizes, perhaps a smaller and finer needle would make injecting more comfortable for her (assuming she's not already using the smallest available). Does she rotate her injection sites enough? Injecting into lumps can be painful, lumps can form when the same site is injected into too frequently. She can rotate sites by injecting into her upper arms, buttocks and thighs, as well as her tummy. I would speak with her diabetes team about your concerns, they should be able to offer some help and guidance. [/QUOTE]
