I almost never inject in my central belly fat these days. Current favorites: abdominal area straight down from nipples, most anywhere along the bottom of my ribcage, or occasionally the "waistband strip". All lower-fat areas, and all hurt less than central belly or love handles. *shrug*

Aiyee! Works okay for a "good" spot, but not fun if hitting a vein or the vagus nerve. After a few blue spots on my belly, and blue streaks in the air, I picked up the "hunting" technique. I've not looked back.
