B12 injections go into muscle which is much more painful - insulin injections are supposed to go into fat, and the needle is much smaller, so they are not supposed to hurt at all. Hopefully once you get used to doing the insulin ones they will be a lot easier!
 
The insulin jabs don't hurt which really surprised me it's the waiting around I don't like makes me nervous but I am getting better surprised my husband he thought he'd have to do them.

I know it probably doesn’t seem like it right now but It does get easier in time.
Is their anything in particular that bothers you about injecting or are you needle phobic
 
Well done, Alison! :D
