Hi everyone - recently for some reason I have pretty much had to double my insulin dosage and still can’t seem to get my levels under control?? I am seeming to be much less sensitive to my insulin but can’t work out why? There has been no particular illness or event I can relate this back to - is there any other reasons why this might be?? Thank you!!
Hi, have you tried injecting in different sites, feeling unwell or contacted your DSN regarding the problem, as you may have Lipohypertrophy. I would contact them asap, I know it's Friday but leaving a message, then ringing again on Monday first thing. I hope you can get some answers soon and then start to see better control/numbers.
Take care.
Lipohypertrophy is an abnormal accumulation of
fat underneath the surface of the skin. It's most commonly seen in people who receive multiple daily
injections, such as people with
type 1 diabetes. ... Repeated insulin
injections in the same location can cause
fat and scar tissue to accumulate.
