[QUOTE="ParentOf, post: 1107391, member: 284112"] The best thing to do is get in touch with your Diabetes team if you have one. Speak to them about the Basal-Bolus regime. This is where you'd inject once a day (pre bed) with a slow release insulin, such as Lantus, then for your meals you'd calculate the carbohydrates of that meal and inject insulin according to an insulin to carbohydrate ratio, which to begin with you'd need to adjust until it's a right fit for you. Just injecting a set amount of novo-rapid insulin 3 times a day won't really help much. (When my middle son was on 4 injections per day of set units of insulin, his bG levels were all over the place, however when my eldest son was diagnosed, they were both put onto the Basal-Bolus system and it has been so much easier to manage).
