I was recently having problems with varying blood levels despite sticking to my regime. My wife thought I was injecting at the wrong angle into my waist fat area. I was putting it in at 90 degree. I tried a different angle of about 45 degrees and hey presto things are on more of a level keel and I'm staying within my blue line on a regular basis with only the odd above and below.

I have had similar problems recently so I will give a different angle a chance thanks
 
@Marksman4519 . If you’ve found something that works then stick with it. It’s good to see positive results from trying a different approach.
 
Always be careful to rotate your sites, as if you overuse a spot you can build up a fat deposit there (lipohypertrophy? I've probably misspelled it) and then the insulin doesn't get absorbed there properly).
