Blood Sugar won't go down

Well basically my blood sugar for the past 24 hours has been really high. average of 300 till 10pm last night, then it rose to 574. At 1A.M. it dropped  to 416 (I was asleep until then). I changed out at this time. I then stayed up till 7a.m trying to drop my blood glucose levels. At 2:45A.M  it dropped to 306. This is when my blood sugar began to rise again. At 3:50 it rose to 320, then 4:50 it rose to 438, it slightly dropped to 417 at 5:51 A.M, then soared to 537 at 6:56 A.M. I haven't been eating anything since 6P.M last night, and fully covered dinner. I checked for keytones, which came back negative. This insulin is also a brand new bottle and a brand new site. I'm honestly clueless on what to do now. My blood sugar right now won't go down and I'm currently doing a manual injection in my arm to see if it will drop at all. Does anyone know what I can do? Can I eat? I'm afraid my B.G going higher, so I haven't been eating.

If you blood sugar is not going down with what you're doing you (and with the manual injection) you should have gone to the emergency room.

You can eat a little, but no carbs at all.  Just drink water.

It can quickly turn into an emergency (life threatening) if you can't get your sugars down.

Are you ok now?  What happened?
