Hi
Thank you for your query . I have read your query and understood your concern.
Treatment of high blood sugar varies from individual to individual as there are different modalities of treatment . Since you are on insulin and take dosage according to sliding scale I would suggest you follow the dose recommended by your doctor according to your blood sugar level. If still your sugar level are not getting corrected you should visit your treating doctor and discuss with him addition drugs ( OHA's) along with insulin to control your blood sugar.
I hope I have addresed your concern well . If satisfied please close this query with a good rating.
Thank you
wish you good health
