I need some help please. I'm type 2 on Insulin and I've been prescribed steroids for a pretty nasty chest infection. My blood sugars keep going up and up. I'm over 20 presently and still raising. I've never been taught how to use my insulin properly. I take my fast acting before my big meal of the day and my slow acting once a day at the same time. Can I take my fast acting insulin solely to bring my sugars down or is it only for before food? Thanks in advance.
