Follow-up question:

As I had mentioned, I am injecting 35 units in AM and 17 units in PM. I really don't have any issues with this except that I work the night shift (9 pm to 6 am). I am advised to just reverse my dose, that is, treat my waking hours as my day and vice versa. This is still not a problem except there would be times like today (it is is 4:40 am in the Philippines and I had injected 35 units yesterday @ 7 pm) when I would be seeing my doctor at 10 am. If I were to follow my sched, I would need to inject 17 units at 7 am before I have my dinner (which is supposedly my last meal of the day). However, since I won't be in bed before 12 noon, I would be forced to eat another meal (on a regular sched, this would be lunch). Now I am concerned whether I would need another 17 units for this meal or should I inject 35 units at 7 am to cover the meal at midday.
