Interventions
Manual pressure applied at injection site during insulin injection to reduce pain
Right thumb pressure was be applied to the appropriate inject site of insulin therapy for 10 seconds, then immediately inject the insulin. The children's pain intensity during and immediately after insulin injection scores will be rated by the children themselves and a researcher using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale.
Shotblocker
Apply the shotblocker and press firmly with its multiple blunt protrusions on contact points of skin. After that, give an insulin injection through the central opening. The children's pain intensity during and immediately after insulin injection scores will be rated by the children themselves and a researcher using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale.
Control group stander care
The children's pain intensity scores during and immediately after insulin injection will be rated by the children themselves and a researcher by using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale to control the group who don't receive the previous method of intervention and receive routine care only.
