Is it common to have fluctuating sugar levels if one starts insulin?
Boyfriend has type 2 and has just started insulin. Levels have gone down and up over the past 3 days of usage, from 14 to 6 to 11 to 13 to 7 etc.

We are new at this, so any advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Margie

It takes some experience to reach a semi constant BS level at distinct times, In the morning after fasting, after eating and so on.
During the day there always will be different results, depending on diet, medication and activity.

You guys definitely need some help and informations.

What type of insulin(s) is he on, and does he use a set amount at mealtimes or does he calculate the dose each time based on the amount of carbs?
