Figuring out insulin

I've been on an insulin pen for sometime now. I have never known how to figure out how much insulin to take. My endo told me to take 20 morning and 20 in evening. I test my blood sugar after I set and then inject insulin. Sometimes less ,sometimes more . Is this bad?

  1. Hi . Personally, I would do what the endo suggested, but that's me. You know your body best. Has it been working for you to do it this way? Have you ever asked your doctor whether it's okay to do it this way? - Lori (Team Member)
