There are a few things I can suggest which may or may not help:

1) use the short needles
2) inject the insulin slowly
3) use fattier areas of the body
4) rotate injection sites
5) make sure there is no blood in the syringe before injecting

Sometimes pain is unavoidable no matter what you do but these techniques should help lessen the frequency.
