Summary

This study compares two simple techniques—applying manual pressure or using a ShotBlocker device—to reduce pain from insulin injections in children aged 6 to 12 with type 1 diabetes. About 108 children will rate their pain during and right after the injection. The goal is to find a low-cost, easy way to make daily injections more comfortable.
