I am taking 16 units around 7pm and find that after 12 hours say 7am my sugars start to rise rapidly. When I give myself insulin around 7 am (7units) the sugars rise to around 200 by seven in the evening. That is an increase from 130 at lunch time. It looks like I need to add another insulin shot around lunchtime splitting the doses. I am curious as to what others have experienced as I am fairly new to insulin. I have been on oral medications for approximately 5 years and their effectiveness has begun to wear off. I am seeing my Endo this week and will be asking him the same questions, but I would really like some feedback from the group as to wether this is normal and what your experiences have been as you started insulin. By the way I am using Humalog 75/25 mix pen.
