insulin sensitivity

Hi everyone! I am type 1 diabetic diagnosed 8 years ago on the medtronic 780g pump and CGM. i have always noticed that for a few months here and there I will get very easy to manage blood sugars requiring quite small doses of insulin and then all of a sudden it will change to no amount of...

Since switching to the pump recently, I've found an issue with Fiasp which was present when I was injecting it - but was quite easy to deal with - is now causing me major issues. So when my blood sugar goes above 10 my sensitivity to Insulin drops significantly. The higher it gets the less...

I’ve been type 1 for 22 years and for most of it have had unpredictable but not too extreme ups and downs of insulin sensitivity. It seems that everything effects my insulin sensitivity inconsistently, which has always made it hard to maintain really good blood glucose control but it’s been...

just going to ramble about my experience with heavy insulin resistance in the morning despite my otherwise very insulin sensitive day! i'm a type 1 on 5 units of Tresiba basal, it works well. In the afternoon or evening, I rend to only need about 1 unit of rapid insulin for 30-40g of carbs...

First Post Introduction So I've had Type 1 Diabetes for the past 6 years now. I was diagnosed during secondary school in Year 11, and missed half of my final year due to lethargy and severe depression. Once diagnosed, I was able to get back to school, and managed to get respectable grades...

Hi. I'm a type 2 diabetic and have been on insulin for more years than I can remember. During the night my readings are fine. As my HbA1c readings have been creeping up over the last couple of years, I decided to self-fund the Freestyle Libre Sensor and what an eye opener this has been. As soon...

so someone who’s recently been diagnosed and maybe got their blood sugar to non diabetic levels, can they fix their metabolism and have the same amount of insulin sensitivity compared to a healthy non diabetic

hi I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 since March...I have lost 1.5 stone. And have another 7 to lose, so far I’ve got my blood sugar back in non diabetic levels and have to go for another blood test in June to see my progress. I am losing weight well and I follow weight watchers to help me lose...

As a type 2, through diet and exercise can you increase your insulin sensitivity a lot better than before like someone without diabetes?

How many carbs do you eat? I know everyone with diabetes is different and some can handle more carbs than others. Also what sort of carbs do you eat?

I guess this question is for those who have controlled bg or as some would say ‘reversed’ or ‘in remission’ For those who lost quite a bit of weight through diet and exercise did you insulin sensitivity increase? Are you able to eat more carbohydrates than before? I know everyone with...

Hi all, it's me, bothering again. Type 1 diabetic, since almost 25 years now. On MDI: humalog + tresiba. I am 28 years old, very active and with a slim profile. Here is the problem. Since more than a week, I have seen my body become very resistant (not sensitive) to insulin. For years, my...

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again with my struggles... Just wondering if anyone lived a similar situation. So since 3 days I have a drastic change in my body's response to insulin; I became MUCH more sensitive, my insulin apparently being 500% stronger?? I started having constantly big and...

Hello, I am currently on my first holiday abroad since diagnosis and have been very surprised by my blood sugar readings. I understand that the heat makes you more sensitive to insulin but I have spent most of my day on the verge of a hypo or actually having a hypo! I have had to check my...

Hello, My name is Ted Lindstrom and I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 15 years. My hba1c was at about 77 some months ago and neither me or my doctor was very happy about this result. I decided to really focus on my diabetes and since I am a App Developer I thought that I would like to develop an...

I'm very new to pumping (Animas Vibe) and I'm struggling with the variations I'm finding. I haven't managed to test basal rates properly because I've had difficulties with hypers and hypos, partly due to kinked cannulas and difficulty with insertion. My basal rate is 0.3 dropping for a few...
