Help! Are there any anesthetics for frequent injections

[jjstraining]

My mum is a 70 year old diabetic who has to inject 5 times a day.

Despite 2 years of this, she is still having pain during the process and she is becoming very obsessed with the pain, cries a lot and generally losing her will to live.

We heard of EMLA cream which was exciting until we found out it cannot be used frequently. She really sparked up when we thought we had found a way to remove the pain of the injections.

Is there any non/prescription drugs that she can use to numb the pain of the needle that can be used 5 times a day? Or any tips ie would you suggest ICE or something else?
