As a not-yet-30 male, I don't think I can offer much advice there...

It's tempting to suggest another site or a longer needle. I wonder how much is actually leaking.
Also: coffee? allergies? inconsistent basal action?

Sounds like a vicious circle going.
Several people on here (self included) have observed that it's more difficult to get back in range than it is to stay in range. Any chance that you could take a Saturday afternoon to get numbers in your "happy range", then try to hold it Sunday? You might need to be less available for the kids...
What's the lowest you usually go? i.e., do you have some "wiggle room" to bring yourself lower without fear of going hypo?
