1) You need to confirm that the injection technique is proper.
2) The injection site has to correct and should be frequently changed to avoid lipohypertrophy
3) Need to check midnight sugar to ensure that she is not having Somogyi phenomenon
4) If each of above causes are ruled out, dose of insulin needs to be increased by 2 U daily until Fasting sugar is between 90 to 130
