We do not manage to lower hyperglycemia

Hello, I am new in this forum and in the world of diabetes.My father has been in insulin for a month to start taking corticosteroids (I already had blood glucose a little before) and we could not lower hyperglycemia. It started with fast insulin Actrapid before the 3 meals and was between 180-200 and peak, and the one before dinner 300 and much and more than 400 one day. A week ago, Insulatard prolonged insulin has added in the morning, 12 IU, but follow 170-190 early in the morning, at noon between 130-220 and at night before dinner at more than 300 every day. You have to take half proteins/kcal at noon because you need to recover weight and that I suppose you get more sugar. On the pattern it gives us that if it is less than 150 we must not put insulin, and from 150 to 200 only 4UI.He has climbed 2ui more and still remains high at night ... I understand that it is to regulate the fast insulin according to what it eats and leave the prolonged way how it is?If you are less than 150 at noon, you can put 4 or 6ui taking into account that you will drink the milkshake? The effect of insulin before eating is immediate and if it passes, could you have hypoglycemia or the UI before eating are taken into account that it will eat and tell what makes effect during digestion? If you put little insulin and past 2h of the food is high, can you put 2ui more for example and at night before dinner again? We have many doubts and little info by doctors! Thanks in advance and strength to all@s

As you don't want to make a capillary, why don't you cheat and buy a sensor at Abbott?It will monitor 24 hours, it does not have to puncture more and you will see how insulin works with meals.
