Just started insulin injections, but they don't seem to work

The injector has Humalog Kwiki Pen
Insulin Lispro. As you can see I am very new to this. I just started last week with the injections along with taking Metformin ER. I was talking with a couple of co-workers who are type 1's and they told me it took a few different types of insulin before they found one that worked for them. Just feel terrible and looking for answers.

MY VALUES HAVE BEEN ABOUT 200 OR MORE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS AND MY KIDNEY FUNCTION STARTED GOING DOWN IN 2012 OR MAYHBE 2011! I AM NOW IN STAGE 4 OF CKD AND HAVE HAD NEUROPATHY SINCE EARLY DECEMBER.
Who R YOUR "DOCTORS"?? U need an Endocrinilogist or NP IN DIABETES!
This is my last attempt before I go see a specialist. They have put me on Invokana as well as Metformin. We will see.

JUST CHECKED THE MAYO CLINIC FOR LISPRO: IT IS A FAST,SHORT ACTING FORM OF INSULIN AND IOT'S USE NEEDS TO BE MONITORED.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR ANOTHER FORM, MAYBE HUMALOG 50/50. WITH OR WITHOUT LISDPRO.
BEFORE I USED HUMALOG. BEFORE/JUST AFTER BREAKFAST AND SUPPER, I USED A DIFFERENT FORM WITH ALL 3
MEALS AND ALSO SOME LONG ACTING FORM. USING HUMALOG 50/50 WITH ONLY TWO MEALS WAS THE ALTERNATIVE UNTIL NOW. I NOW ADD ABOUT HALF OF MY REGULAR DOSE WITH LUNCH TO REDUCE THE BIG JUMP IN GLUCOSE
BETWEEN LUNCH AND SUPPER. I ALSO TAKE SOME HUMALOG WITH A SNACK, SAY BEFORE BEDTIME.
