Type 1 for 8 years, and very sensibly stopped smoking for good a month ago.Also eating much more healthily, as I've had a retinopathy scare, and yet I suddenly need much larger doses of novo rapid ? Any ideas? Coincidence?

Not really without a bit more information Prud, but exercise can increase insulin sensitivity so try and keep active if you can.

btw, well done on stopping smoking, diabetes and smoking is a lethal combination.

Thanks, this is my third major attempt at quitting, and it does feel easier this time, though the urge to snack is driving me mad!

Keep at it mate, I've lost two dear people who were close to me from smoking related cancers so do persevere.
