[QUOTE="Jemzor, post: 745731, member: 156098"] Hi [USER=155048]@PepperTed[/USER]. I used to be on about 40% more insulin back in August 2013 (the point where I said enough was enough) when I pretty much underwent a complete change in lifestyle - nutrition and exercise. But even with the higher insulin doses, my BG levels were still reading high and I found myself correcting a lot more and chasing the right levels from the outset. When I reduced the insulin levels, my BG levels also reduced. But I was clearly on a slippery slope when I thought I needed to increase insulin to reduce BG levels when actually it needed basal and CP ratio adjustment. I now weigh 20% less than I did. All this was with MDI and I am still on this. I will be moving onto a pump very soon as HbA1C and hypos are still problematic and I suspect at this stage that the insulin levels will go down even further. [/QUOTE]
