The thing we generally advise for everyone as a start (and it worked for me and still does) is a food/test/insulin diary.

Write down everything. The carbs going in, the tests before and 2 hours after meals, your doses, exercise, etc.

Once you have maybe a week of data, you might see a pattern where you're always high at certain times or going low due to an increase in exercise. You can then adjust your insulin to match your lifestyle and eating until it starts to settle.

If you can't spot the patterns, you could post up your results and see if someone else can. I've been blinded by my own resistance to change many a time but can now see where I was going wrong.

Yes i remember doing that when they were teaching me what to do.
 
:D You sound much like many of us. Good intentions but put it off til it's really needed.:D

Hopefully you can make a fresh start and get that notebook out. Do as many tests as you feel necessary. But write EVERYTHING down.

We still do it. It can make a big difference even over a few days.

Well done. Never too late. As long as you can get at least 2 or 3 complete days with a few 'mostly' days you should be fine.

I hope it shows you a few things that need tweaking. 🙂
