Hi all,
Not been on here in a while due to just getting on with it, but think I need some advice!
I'm finding I'm having to inject more and more insulin to keep me low, regardless of what I eat.
I have put on a few stone since becoming T1, but my doses have changed to reflect this.
I feel like I am suffering from insulin resistance.
An example - I awoke at 15.9 this morning, injected 14 units of Novorapid at 8am (and 22U Levemir), and 3 hours later, I'm still at 11.2.
I had to stop injecting in my stomach as I was suffering with some lumps and pains from injecting.
Could the injection site be an issue (mainly my thighs, now).
Anyone got any suggestions that I could try to get back to a slight normality?
I do eat a fair amount of carbs, so feel that cutting down could help, too. Maybe the two things go hand in hand?
Thanks in advance.
