| I don't use needles very much anymore (pumping), but I discovered something a while back. When I touched the needle to the place I was about to inject into, and it stung - I chose another site, even very closeby. When I touched the needle to a place that doesn't sting or cause any special sensation, it didn't hurt there! Also, injecting cold insulin can be uncomfortable. Room temperature is better.
Also, you can pinch harder and the pinch hurts and not the needle!
