Very high sugar levels

Since I was diagnosed September 2011, I've struggled with high sugars. I've only been on insulin for a week, and it's yet to make a difference. At work today, my sugars are 16 and I feel like punching someone. I've been shaking, I'm tired and my head is pounding. I've burst into tears 3 times today (hiding in the toilets). What can I do to bring my sugars down whilst I'm in my office job? I'm drinking loads of water. I've got my lunch break in an hour and I'm scared to eat. What can I do? I can't handle this, and I'm not seeing the consultant until next week :'(

Re: Very high sugar levels

Thank you for your reply. Had a good old cry, don't expect that helped. Sugars are just as high today, but at least I didn't feel the need to punch anyone! I made a point of apologising to my colleague for being so miserable yesterday!
