Supposedly your weight x's four will give you what you should be on tdd and if your on more your either way off which one way could be determined that your low and high and can't find a happy medium or your very insulin resistant......but with the humalog mix you could be on more insulin then being on the four shot a day regimine..........Like Brian said have you looked into a pump or instead of a syringe an insulin pen.......it is very hard to control sugar usually on that mix insulin, I mean a few can but more and more people can't. I thought it was very odd to take so many shots at first but it is a heck of alot easier to get a better control, and all, just a thought for you, but I understand if it is needle phobia, a lot have a hard time with that, that is why a lot use the insulin pen or the pump.......I hope this helps......and yes counting carbs wasn't in my vocabulary for years, but after high's and low's and ughhhhhhhh the fustration I finally gave in........but it takes us all time at different rates to get where we need to be......we are here for ya and trust me I have been there and am still trying....Good luck and take care.
