well i doubt there is really a painless needle. its a needle that is going into your body so it is seen as a foreign object. if you are getting your blood drawn ask for a butterfly needle they hurt a little less and it feels like a mosquito bite compaired to other needles. also it does depend on how good and the amount of experience the person drawing your blood has and is. if its an injection they tend to use smaller needles any how and there is a lot of new technology that is out and will be comming out soon for people with diabetes as well as other things in the medical field.

Not really. I've given tons of injections to people over the years. The pain related to shots is a direct result of the size of the needle, the depth the medication has to penetrate into the tissue, the consistency of the medication and the skill and technique of the nurse giving the shot...
And whether or not you've made her mad....:o)

Yes I'm diabetic and the needle to get a blood sample for my machine is painless. I often have to look at the site to see if I actually punctured the skin. The needle is in a pen device that works like a gun you cock it press the button and the needle goes in and out so fast you really don't notice it.

Never heard of one but I have been going for regular blood tests and each time the nurse pricks the needle, I would turn away and think about something else. Its only a small sting it doesn't hurt really.

I asked that question to a nurse recently. She told me it depends on the toughness of the persons skin. Sometimes a needle may not be 'honed' properly and could pinch. Also, if there is an underlying bruise, that could hurt from the innoculation.

Never heard of one - it's the one who sticks you that determines how much it'll hurt! Some nurses can give shots so that you hardly feel a thing! There are different size needles, of course.
