[QUOTE="sadsocks, post: 1428924, member: 347721"] Back again with more questions. Daughter (18) diagnosed late October and has been carb counting, bolusing and correcting exactly as advised, but now getting very disheartened as the insulin doesn't always seem to be working! An example being today at lunchtime when her blood sugar was around 13mmols and she had a 40g lunch ... she gave herself 8 units..2 to correct and 6 for the carbs ( as she feels she is needing more than the 1 :10g that she started with and 3 hours later it's 15!!! Could this be the end of her honeymoon, or I'm wondering if any mums with daughters notice increased resistance to insulin at certain times of the month??? She's trying so hard and I keep telling her that she's doing everything right, but she's getting understandably very down about this. Have emailed our nurse contact and uploaded her meter, and she has a clinic appointment in 3 weeks. [/QUOTE]
