I find injecting into the stomach quite painful so I have been using my thighs and upper arms also (i have pouches here also)I find the best area though for injecting is the backside as there is quite a lot to grab hold of and although I am only 10 stone in weight there is enough flesh to rotate just in that area.I do try to rotate as much as possible as these pouches can actually.  store some of the insulin you inject but then release it between injections causing unexpected low sugar levels. Where possible I try to go right arm and then left then right leg and left and then backside (right and left) though this is easier said than done.KevFitz</blockquote>
