Wes, I appreciate what you're saying about the stacking effect, but the things is, that would hit me eventually, and I'd end up with a massive hypo - which I don't get. And as for them acting like a pseudo-basal overnight, again no. I'm not stopping basal because I think I don't need it, I'm...

Hello @EllieM . The insulin pump does sound an option, but not just yet, for me. What I wanted to say to you was, if there is mileage in my nonsense, then maybe you don't have 'variable insulin resistance' ! Maybe it's this 'unknown thing' going on ? I'm going to take a shot at something -...

Honestly, it's not as if I'm not seeing a Doctor. But thing is, this current focus has only happened over the last 2 years, or just a bit more. And in the beginning my Doc and the Diab Team, did discuss, and did try to help - e.g. don't be too quick to chase with more bolus, make sure you...

Hi @Jaylee , I'll go through your points again: 1. It is theoretically possible that you 'are' genuinely getting occasional 'duff' cartridges, but I can see why your support teams would find that tough to consider. It wouldn't be the first time things have gone wrong at a source...

Well ............ ouch ! And to answer your post slightly less bluntly ;-) Bud - the problem is I don't get to hear hoofbeats, my dust mites are wearing Doc M's, so the approach is silent, but it's still a good kicking ! @Westley , this focus on dust mites (and the other possibilities) might...

@Jaylee , have got some more thoughts, but don't have time to collate till later. The other thing I meant to include was - does Lantus need to be 'shaken' before use. I didn't think it did (like the old basals), and I don't recall shaking when I was active with it. But I don't think it's...

Only time for one tonight ........... Hi @Jaylee , Just had some thoughts last night based on what you'd written, not saying they necessarily apply, but let me throw them out there anyway (in my usual rubbish dump fashion !), and you can pick and choose, or laugh ! :-) Re: your impression of...

@Jaylee - I want to come back on your post here, but maybe tomorrow if I can.

@JAT1 - that is perfectly sound advice. But truth is, I'm way past that. I have been documenting every item of food eaten for the past 4 or 5 years (really for a different reason though - a separate investigation into certain ingredients we were trying to keep a check on), although I finally...

But maybe that fits in with what I'm saying @In Response , maybe your occasional high BGs are from the very sources I'm suggesting, and maybe that's why the bloods are high, and why you're getting the blocked nose ! OK, it was another very bad up and down day today (Monday). Now a few hours...

@Grace04 , don't want to overlook your post. I will come back to your link and read it later on. I think I might be suffering from quite a few right now.

Hi @ajbod , Have I moved my bed etc. Yes, I've been on a real cleaning routine for 2 years now, but there are still other things I want to do, but can't get the time, because the current routine (plus 'caring' duties) are so full-on. I've gone through a process of throwing out excess bedding...

Thanks @urbanracer , and well done Mrs Urb ! There's something going on, which we have yet to discover. I don't know yet, but I'm on the trail. Cheers ....... and glad you're getting lower readings, for whatever reason.

Appreciate big man ! :)

Hi @lovinglife , Yes, thanks for that. I confess I am not an expert on them. I was forced into finding about them because of all this, and noted what I needed. I know you should not be applying directly onto skin etc., you need to dilute them. But I am sure there will be other aspects to be...
