Correction factor can they differ depending on the time of day?

So in the morning most type 1s are very insulin resistant and require more insulin to carbs compared to any other part of the day but does anyone think that there correction factor might be different in the morning? Needing more again?

Like everything else, it varies from person to person. You can have a different correction factor at different times of the day and all of a sudden it can change back to you just needing the same one.

Ok so it's a possibility then as I notice corrections if needed in the morn have no where near the effect as they do later in the day. My nurse didn't really know as if she hadn't come across it so thought someone might be able to answer this here thank you.

Before being on a pump my morning correction dose was 1 unit to bring me down by 1 whereas any other time of the day it was 1 unit to bring me down by 3. I had very bad insulin resistance in the mornings.

My correction levels on mdi or pump are all different for various times of day and night.
