Hi, I've been T1 for 26 years and have generally always been pretty well controlled (or aware of why if ever control hasn't been so good) I've been taking a split dose of levemir for several years and been on it for around 15 years. Recently I've noticed quite a lot of inexplicable highs in the morning which quite steadily and rapidly increases throughout the morning prior to me having breakfast. Then occasionally I'll get a normal reading on some mornings. I used to often wake up in the mornings low so quite the opposite now. I take 11.5 units at night and wake up with a reading of 12 then I upped my units to 12, still got a high reading in the morning then the next day woke up with a reading of 3.2. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I'm wondering if these are signs of insulin resistance and, if so, what a good alternative would be. I've never experienced such a thing before and am going to see the diabetes nurse today but any advice/experience gratefully received, thank you!
