[QUOTE="Tony337, post: 2430096, member: 339124"] Old hack of 47 years here....hi Been on novo rapid about 15 years. From time to time I suffer from insulin resistance where I take my usual dose in the usual way and it doesn't work!! Its like its hiding somewhere. Its very strange but please don't despair we are all different and I've only got to where I am because of the good the bad and the ugly side of type 1 diabetes. I'm quite philosophical about it but then again I am not you and wanting to start a family! Suggestion... There is one thing that helps me during periods of resistance .. Walking....simple walking. After a meal and I notice the novorapid is hiding somewhere I go for a walk for about 30 minutes. So I have a high bg level with food and insulin sloshing about my body......add 30 minutes walk and somehow it coaxes out the insulin. Sounds bonkers I know but it works and sometimes I have to walk for longer but the beauty of having a libre I can see whats happening to my levels. Its only a suggestion.. I would like to add I am a bloke who has a 21 year old non diabetic son. My sister who is an old hack of 53 years a type 1 has a non diabetic son now 25. I only add this so you know the magic can happen. I wish you all the luck in the world Tony [/QUOTE]
