@windyshoes,
Do you mean I should stop squeezing my skin while the needle is still in? I always have a bubble of medicine on the needle when I take it out. I asked the endo's nurse about the bubble and she said it was alright. I worry that I'm wasting medicine.

I let go of the skin as it is being injected to avoid medicine leaking. So pinching up allows the needle to go into the fat area, initially, but I let go simultaneously with the injection. I am so used to it because my kid has type 1 diabetes- 30 years of shots- and am realizing it is tricky for others!
