Been checking since I posted this:

1. When I inject through my shirt or pants, I run 15/.8 to 30/1.6 higher than if I inject into bare skin

B. This has been the pattern since I started injecting through clothes

Thirdly. This is true even if I keep the needle in for an extra 10 seconds

I'm thinking that when I inject through clothes that I tend to push the needle in too far, whereas, when I inject into bare skin, the needle cap barely touches the skin, if at all.

Course, this could also have something to do with Tounge Placement Phenomenon or the Moons of Saturn Effect
