[QUOTE="lma89, post: 1037269, member: 192696"] I currently take around 140 ish units of insulin per day 80 are basal doses I take 40 in a morning and 40 at bed time the rest are bolus and correction doses because I cannot get a hold of my sugar levels atall. It's been creeping slowly up for the past month, and my body is demanding more I am going to my doctors tomorrow to put this to him because 6 months ago I finished a course of steroids for a virus I had that left me in extreme pain. Before then my insulin was low and hba1c was spot on. Obviously with the steroids my insulin rocketed I am now on more than I was when I was taking steroids. The insulin needs did settle slightly after the steroids stopped but I haven't been able to go back down to my dose before steroid. Now I cannot satisfy my blood sugar atall. I am beyond exhausted I cannot sleep Im over checking my sugars. So, does any one else have this problem or have been diagnosed with it, if so what's the treatment I've heard about metformin but I thought that was just type two, also I remember a type one diabetic friend mention once she had to take extra injection that makes her cells open up to absorb insulin Just so I know what to expect and can go armed with appropriate questions to get myself sorted sooner than later [/QUOTE]
