[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1988054, member: 53162"] Hi Alex, Unfortunately if your not testing then you won't know for sure if the insulin is working or not - you need to get onto that meter and get it fired up, please test before you eat and then 3 hours afterwards, write down your results, you will need these to show your DSN and any specialist you see so you can review when insulin was taken, how much and what the result was, this is the absolute basics of t1 care management so getting it right is massively important, unfortunately you wont get a libre unless you show your team that you are doing this, also only then you will know if the insulin is working or if you are taking the right amount of insulin. What you are experiencing is not normal at all, as a forum we can't diagnose you as it could be anything from an allergic reaction to gastroparesis and anything inbetween, but no it's definitely not normal and requires urgent investigation as you may fall into DKA if you're running high and not taking the right amount of insulin.
