Well done Gail. Which insulin are you on. Has anyone suggested splitting the injection as you can get some big lumps with the amount of liquid you are injecting (i do 60units and 60 units pm), and some insulins don't actually last 24 hours, so if you inject all your insulin in the morning you might not have any left for your evening meal, resulting in high BG at bedtime and then high in the morning. Either check your readings or talk to your team.
