Hi Maryam.

Please give us some more information.
How many units of insulin?
How many times each day?
What type of food does your mother eat each day?
 
Hi Maryam and your Mother, welcome to the forum!

The more information you can give, the better advice you will get.
There are many very experienced insulin users on the forum.
 
Hi and welcome. It sounds like your Mother is having mixed insulin twice a day? If it's possible, she would have better blood sugar control if she is able to go onto two different insulins. This is called Basal/Bolus. The Basal is a 24 hour insulin and the Bolus is just for meals. It means 4 to 5 injections per day but control is much better for meal-time carbs. How many carbs does your Mother have each day? The Asian diet is sometimes very high in carbs which increases blood sugar. If possible try to find a way of reducing the carbs.
