Please do not self medicate especially insulin as it can lead to severe hypoglycemia and that is very risky in elderly people. If your mother is having high sugars before dinner the treatment that she is taking in the day needs modification accordingly.. please consult your endocrinologist for help.

It can be given though it may cause low blood sugar at midnight.
