A member asked:
For diabetes blood glucose at 500 why wouldn't insulin work?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It should work.: With a blood sugar of 500 you definitely need insulin. You must see your doctor about this asap.

Reevaluate: Either you need to go up on the dose, add another type of insulin, switch to a different type of Insulin or work on your injecting techniques...See your doctor to discuss all of this. Good luck.
