I think your numbers are all over the place.. because you are new to it.. but for me.. I am pretty consistent with getting up and eating breakfast at breakfast time.. ( 3 kids) so I never start the day that late. I take lantus at night and I don't need insulin again until dinner.. 2 units. I watch the carb counts in food and I eat moderate carbs.. spacesd out with snacks to match my exercise ( walking 4 hours a day as a mailman) so I don't go low. I inject at dinner before I start eating too. Not sure if that makes a diff. I correct a low with the glucose tabs.. they are all over the house and in the cars. I don't do it with food.. my wife says.. correct first then eat a 15 carb snack. It works well. She often prompts me for that as when I go low I am reported to be " out of it and staring at her." Even so.. chips, Dr. Pepper and 3 tacos is an overkill even as a meal for me! Maybe rethink how you correct.. get a plan.. think about the carb ratio/ meal numbers too... hey it takes time and practice to sort this all out.
