Metojet pen

Just done my first injection with a pen. Slightly unnerved because I've had no instruction, however it was even less painful (ie my husband told me when it finished!) than the syringe.

Just wanted to share this in case anyone else is facing the same challenge - it really is easy and fairly unnoticeable.

Congratulations paw, see how easy it really is lol, I have between 7 and 8 injections daily lol for my diabetes and some days I feel no pain and some I do lol but it's got to be worth it.

Better to relax for the next one lol.

Thanks! I'm slightly dreading the change as was difficult enough to get used to the syringes, so it helps to know someone has managed ok.

Hi HH, I did my first this week too and I wasn't even sure it had gone in except for the needle mark as I didn't feel a thing. Until I'd read others experiences I wondered if I done it properly. I was a bit worried too about the change but so far it does seem much better. You'll be fine
