He gets 7 units with each meal and 22 at bedtime. My question is..what would symptoms be if it were too high and too low? What is too high? What is too low?

Thankyou user for your query.
there is no such thing too high and too low in case of diabetes.Its just the cut off limits for fasting is 80-110mg/dl and 140-200mg/dl for post prandial. The symptoms will be varied as low blood sugar may cause dizziness, confusion, fainting spells, lethargy, irritability, loss of concentration, tachycardia, sweating, anxiety, increase in hunger.
High blood sugar causes increase frequency of urination, dizziness, blurring of vision, nausea, extreme hunger and thirst.
