Thought of something to add, but the time limit on editing posts has expired...

Bonnie, it was suggested in another one of your threads that you try switching from the pre-mix, to using two insulins that you mix yourself. (Still keeping you on a 2 shot a day plan). This has many advantages over the pre-mixes. You can have a different mix in the morning than at night (advantageous if your metabolism isn't consistent over the day) you can also add a few units of the short acting insulin if you are eating an abnormally large breakfast or dinner. And if you are running super high before bed you can take a correction shot (I know you don't want more than 2 shots a day, but this is just a worst case scenario correction shot, that you don't HAVE to do every day, just if you need it)

Think about it. It might be something worth suggesting to your doctor.
