My 90 year old Mother has recently been diagnosed with Type 2 following a course of steroids and I'm trying to develop my understanding of all things diabetic.She's been given a Humulin M3 Kwik Pen.  She started on 4 units in the morning, but has gradually been increased up to 28 units in the morning and now 4 in the evening.  Her blood sugar level is generally coming out at between 12 and 18 but varies dramatically from about 10 up to 25 on occasions.  She's on a very low sugar diet.  She was originally taking 15mg of Prednisolone steroids daily which I know can cause chaos with sugar levels but she is now down to 3mg, yet the sugar has remained high.All I can get from the nurses is "she's fine".   But can anyone tell me please how big a dose 28 + 4 units actually is?  It sounds incredibly high when she started on 4.Thanks for any help you can give.Chris</blockquote>
