HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A sliding scale would help to reduce it. A sliding scale is a system where insulin is given according to the reading.
You need to a look at your diet and activity level to see if there are any changes that might contribute.
Since the invokanna is not controlling your symptoms, then you need to consider speaking to your doctor because you may need a change in medication.
I hope this helps
