Which is less painful for a child with diabetes, the insulin injection syringe or the pen injection device?

Pen Injector: Pen injectors with the new 4mm bd needle are less painful than utilizing syringes. I find that slow injection technique helps, especially with evening Lantus (insulin glargine) dosing.

Pen: Pen device with small needle.

About the same: The needles used to inject Insulin are so small these days that patients do well with both the pen device or needle/syringe method.
