Hi all
I was hoping to get some opinions on the possibility of an insulin allergy.
I've had type 1 for 26 years (I'm now 27). Since I was 13 I have really struggled with excessive perspiration over my whole body. I spend the entire summer sitting in front of a fan and I have to be very careful about what I do incase I get overheated. I cant describe enough how bad it is. Until recently my control was fine and my weight was normal so thats not the cause. I remember my insulin being changed around the same time to human insulin. I don't know if it's possible but I've been wondering if I have an allergy to the insulin that could be causing it? I've tried everything else and my insulin is the only thing I haven't changed. I don't know if there are any tests that can be done to find out?
