[QUOTE="Sideburnt, post: 1814774, member: 74515"] Hi all, really looking for some advise or comparable experiences. I've been a T1 for 6 1/2 years now and have seen my basal creep up from 8 to 18 units of Humulin I over that time period and hardly shift from 18 units for the last 3 years. In the last 2 weeks my bolus requirements have shot up and with trial and error I've found that I now need 40 units to keep my numbers in control which is really confusing me almost like my insulin resistance has changed but hasn't effected my bolus requirements. A few things that have changed in the last 6 months; I've been using Fiasp Ultra rapid insulin. I've twice taken Fuconazole to clear a stubborn yeast issue. No weight gain, I exercise, diet hasn't changed, I've tried changing to different vials from different batches. I'm worried that with such a dramatic increase that a temporary environmental change my flip and leave me with double the background I need and send me into a brutal hypo. I guess it's possible that an extended honeymoon has ended but so dramatically? and without changing my bolus ratio? [/QUOTE]
