cute injection aid to numb site for kids....?????
In a recent issue of the Diabetes Forecast or Diabetic Living magazine I saw a product made to numb the injection site for little kids. I think it was shaped like a ladybug and you might put it in the freezer or you turned it on and the vibration numbed the site.
I have a friend with a child who has just been DX and can't remember where I saw this. Can anyone help? Has anyone used this product and provide feedback?
Thanks!

I'm not sure that "numb" with ice is something I'd go for with shots? I was sort of a shotophile though. When I used to keep the syringes in the garage, they were not particularly comfy when it was really cold out?

I haven't heard about this product, but I use EMLA cream when I'm putting my infusion set in a sensitive area. you have to put it on an hour beforehand to totally numb the area. I don't do it for a shot if I need one, the needles these days are so small and thin.
