Hi,
Do you get to your Diabetic Clinic at the hospital often?
Have you done the carb counting course at any point?

Hi Gemma

Could you post a typical day's log book - what meals you ate, insulin doses and times, blood sugar readings? We may be able to make some specific suggestions then.

If you are having problems, go right back to basics, start with your basal insulin get that right then move onto your bolus. Testing frequently will help no end to find a pattern.
