I'm a T2, so quite useless, but just wondering, has your insulin been frozen? If so, it won't work. If you have another batch to try, go for it. If nothing works, get in touch with emergency services.

What sort of foods are you eating? Have you done a basal test?

Or could you be insulin resistant for some reason? Insulin resistance makes it seem like insulin is not working and sickness, stress & hormones make it worse. Reducing carbs and exercise may help deal with it.
