Hi, newly diagnosed type 1 in June this year at 49 years of age. Since diagnosis I’ve pretty much injected slow insulin at 10pm and done three ‘fast injections before each meal. For last three months I’ve also injected fast insulin before bedtime as BG starting to rise so 4 fast injections each day. However now I feel I’ve stabilised I’m wondering is it ok to regularly inject extra fast insulin between meals if I feel like more food? I know I have to account for insulin on board. It’s usually in the evening an hour or two after my main meal. If I feel like more dessert can I just inject more fast insulin an hour or two after my ‘main meal’ dose or is this a bad idea long term due to fatty deposits at injection sites, or does it not really matter anyway as I’m 49 and it will take years (dunno if that is true) for these fatty deposits at injection sites to build up anyway! Just don’t want to have problems later with insulin not working as well as I’ve ‘over injected’ now. Hope this makes sense. Basically i guess what I’m asking is on average how many times do type 1’s typically inject their fast insulin each day - just before each meal and rigid with this (?) or regularly between meals as well? Thanks and wishing you a very happy Christmas, Andy
