I'm a type 1 since I was 11 years old. It always seemed to me that the typical argument ''you're very young'' or ''you're still growing up'' was just an excuse in order to justify a terrible control of diabetes. I've always heard that young diabetics, specially teenagers, tend to have a much higher insulin resistance than grown-up adults (21yr or more). Now I'm 18 and the truth is that I feel I could be injecting more insulin than apparently my weigh would need (17 levemir units a day; 57kg; low carb diet), and I don't know if it's because of my age.
What do you think? Did you have high insulin resistance in your younger years?
Thank you
