In that case you need to inject insulin before meals as well. But you need to manage insulin resistance too. It means that you need to find a balance between the the insulin you inject and the carbs you eat. Eating too much carb and covering it with lots of insulin makes insulin resistance worse. And don't forget to get lots of exercise!
