Useless injection spots

Starting to get fed up as I've had a few days of rubbishy bloods (lack of exercise etc) and I find that my stomach is the only place where injections do any good. Correction doses on my arms seem to do nothing much for me where as my stomach is much more reliable at doing so. Both have hyper trophy in certain areas, more so the stomach but it's just annoying. Anyone else find similar things or certain preferences?
 
Morning @nskelton have you tried your back or bottom ? Bottom is generally good for basal and back is fine for bolus, as long as you can pinch some flesh, I knows it awkward but for the sake of giving some relief to your stomach ?

I've tried the bottom but never back?? I have given as much relief to my stomach as I can but sometimes it's most reliable!
