Not sure your exact situation. You are in type 1 section. Are you taking a long acting insulin along WITH your short acting insulin? Maybe once or twice a day type shot of maybe Lantus? If so, my guess is that the Lantus is near the end of its life. Insulin out in room temperature only has a life of 20-25 days. As you get to the end of this period of time it becomes less effective in the body given the same shot amount. I typically toss the bottle, regardless of the amount in the bottle, at or around 20 day mark. I had the same issue as you and it is all about the long acting insulin. If you are on a pump, like mentioned before, you may simply need to increase your dosage. You should consult your doctor before doing this.
