[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2492146, member: 21149"] Hi. You mention a phial? Are you using a pump and 'vials' or a normal pen? It's rarely anything to do with 'bad' insulin. I've had similar problems recently and found it's due to lipohypertrophy where there has been overuse of certain injection areas. I've now been using the shoulder and backside and it's making a big difference in the insulin absorption rate. Be aware that once your BS goes into the high teens it can take hours to get it back down regardless of injection amount; it's not linear behaviour. Do consider new injection areas. Google it and there are loads of images. BTW I also inject some Basal as well as Bolus when I have this problem to bring BS down [/QUOTE]
