When Did you start 2 injections?

I've been on 9 units of Humulin that has been working well...in fact, I was up to 10, but kept getting too many bad lows, so we lowered to 9 as per nutritionist.  Now my numbers at night are semi high...122, 128.  Granted, maybe I'm not being AS cautious.  When did you have to do the 2 shots?  One in the AM and one at night?

    Sorry no real help in your question- just wanted to say wow, your lucky or maybe I was just that unlucky. I went from 2 weeks of trying to use diet as a control to doing 4 shots a daily. 1 at each meal and one before bed.

    I can't remember what I started with units wise- it was around 8-10 but quickly went up to 15-20 at meals and at the end I was up to 27 at bedtime.

    I'm hoping this time around I'm not so bad off though.

    I am on one shot.  I have only been on it a little over a week. Started at 10 and now at 18 in the morning.

    Not much help here as I started out with an evening shot of humulin (now at 44 units) and a pre breakfast shot of humalog (now at 34 units).  After 5 weeks we added in a pre lunch shot of humalog (6 units) because my pre and post dinner numbers were high.

    I was put on two from the start. I do my first morning shot today as soon as I eat breakfast and I'm kind of scared since my day numbers have been fine from the start. I have already schooled my sister in what to do if I get hypoglycemic.

    I was diagnosed last week and right away was put on 4 shots (before meals and bedtime) and the meal plan.  My glucose numbers are lower, but not all of them are in range every day.  There's always one that's a little high. 

    I felt fine before all of this but now I get hypoglycemic quicker or more often than ever before.  So I set timers on my itouch to remind me to eat and test and inject so I don't miss anything.

    I started with one shot of NPH at dinner time, I was at 17 units. Now I take one shot of NPH at Lunch-ish and that is 15 units and then bedtime is about 9 units of NPH now.

    My fasting number is 60ish now, so I could take my bedtime dose down to 7 if I felt like it I think.
