So usually, people are started on a relatively low dose and slowly titrate their way up until it more or less works.It's a massive help if you log your carbs and blood glucose before and after food. With this information, you and your diabetes nurse can work out how to adjust your doses.On how long it takes to work, standard advice is to inject some 15 minutes before eating, are you doing this already? For some, this works well, others find they need to give it a bit more time.Good luck!</blockquote>
