Try relaxing before injecting - deep breathing right before putting needle in.Vary injection site and gently pat after completing injection then reward yourself with your favourite sweetie.
Hope this helps

Hi lovely, I had really great advice from a nurse at our clinic. Put ice on the area before the injection to numb the area, the stinging didn’t happen after that 😀
I hope it works for you too

thanks guys - aren’t we just supposed to inject it under our stomachs though
yes omg stings I did my injections last week and noticed the same thing it wasn’t like the pen which I found painless. You’ll get used to it, I used to Pat down with pressure with a wipe and pain would fade after 5 mins x
