You need to take her back to the vet. She could be in Diabetic Ketoacidosis which is not very fun. She could need to be on fluids to flush out her system. Usually they are on fluids for a few days and then they can get her insulin regulated.
I am a bit concerned though about her not eating. She shouldn't be gettin insulin if she isn't eating. They can become hyperglycemic, low blood sugar, and start having seizures.
Be sure to have some karo syrup around just in case she has a seizure, rub it on her gums to help bring up her glucose level. Your vet should have gone over all of this with you. If he didn't maybe you should seek a second opinion.

I think you are kind of right but using the wrong wording. In a litter of say 10 pups from even the best breeding of purebreds there temperaments will be all over the place and you should test the litter to find the dog that is correct for you and for what work you intended this dog to do. Characteristics I think for the most part say 2 purebreds mixed together will produce a dog that looks like what you are talking about but probably wont look very good. It is kind of like if you go to a dog show I can usually pick out the stunning dog the dog that makes you look twice and sometimes even more and it doesn't matter the breed. I know Standard Poodles and Mini Poodles and even bad breed poodles still have characteristic that make them poodles add in half decent structure and health and a good temperment and you will have a good pet.

I know what you are going through i had a dog that was diabetic it was terrible cruel in-fact no animal deserves it they do not understand the changes you have to make to there life style. her poor little life was never the same.
My little Cain terrier was only 6 when she died on thee 17th DEC 1993 i will never forget her she was my life never a day gos by that i don't think of her you have all my sympathy.
You must take her to the vet as you shouldn't give her her medication on an empty stomach and as you will be aware already her diet and exercise and everything as to be the same you can not chop and change things in her life as this upsets the amount of insulin and you have to keep the amounts as near as possible.and she must be watched at all times for going in to a comer. I know just how difficult things must be for you and how hart breaking just watching her again my hart gos out to you and i hope all gos well but please do get her to the vet asp if you would like to e-mail me my address is aaa6wjmd@yahoo.co.uk

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/S4PB1
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

If she's not responsing to insulin she is better off going to see her vet as soon as possible. The insulin is given to bring her blood sugar down. If she's not responding to this, the levels of glucose in her blood may reach a toxic level and cause other problems. Alternatively, if she's not eating, her blood sugar could drop dangerously low and cause a coma, known as hypoglycaemia.
And yes, another problem could be going on as well. I'd ring for an appointment straight away.

you need to take her to the vet. you need to make sure she's eating before you give the insulin, even if you have to boil some chicken and rice and give it to her. if she doesn't eat and then gets her insulin then you can cause her insulin to get too low and cause vomiting and lethargy. if she gets worse this weekend take her to an emergency clinic asap, i would at least call one and let them know what's going on. tue morning you need to take her to your vet and have them do bloodwork and possibly an insulin curve, her insulin dosage might need to be adjusted.
