Those are fairly high but not the worst I've seen on here.
What sort of foods do you eat? You might be able to help yourself a lot by tweaking your diet.

Have you been taught how to adjust insulin? What type are you on?

You may be on the wrong insulin too. I'm on lantus for basal, and apidra for bolus and they work well enough for me.
