Welcome ElWray,
it sounds as if you are having a pretty grim time of it. Firstly, well done for improving your control, even if it isn't where you want it yet.
What happens when you wake up with high blood sugars - can you get them down at all, eg with small injections of insulin? Or do you end up hypo and swinging back and forth between high and low?
How many injections are you doing, usually? 3 novorapid, 1 lantus?
What happens if you increase your Lantus dose at night, does that make it worse or better? I went through a period where my bg was sky high every morning and my doctor suggested actually decreasing the dose - he reckoned I was going hypo in the night and bg rising again really fast after it. In the end that just made it worse so I increased the dose bit by bit again, and it gradually evened off.
Is there anything else going on, eg have you been ill with flu or anything that could make your sugars rise? And have you talked to a doctor about your pains and stuff or had a check up/advice? Can you get any kind of access to a good doctor or diabetes nurse, or is that not an option in your area?
