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!

that's right if yo ujust gently 'probe around' if it stings in one place move an inch to the left or right and usually its ok then.
