What type of insulin do you take?
If you have a slow acting one once or twice a day and a fast acting one when you eat, this is known as basal bolus.
It is usually recommended to start by making sure your basal (slow acting) dose is correct by basal testing (search for this as it mentioned a lot). Then the bolus dose can be adjusted.

If you are on mixed insulin or fixed doses, you may want to talk to your doctor about switching.

Another thought s whether you have lips (lumps of scar tissue where you have been injecting). This can affect your insulin absorption. It is usually recommended to use alternative injection sites.
