>BIOD – Adding a chelator (EDTA), in the presence of citric acid (btw, that could be the cause for the injection site pain)<
As a rule, lower pH does imply greater injection pain; however, low pH is probably not the main explanation for the pain in this case because VIAject has the same ph as Lantus. High injection volume and perhaps the long needle are the more likely culprits.
