I have been T1 for 30 years.. When I was about 15 I had such severe insulin resistance and my diabetes team changed my insulin (they should have told me to reduce carbs but that is another story). I have had extremely brittle diabetes always.. I now know this was insulin resistance and have stopped having fits and by the virtues of a very low carb diet I have not had a fit for a year and a half.
I just had a salad from subway and the only carbs coming from a couple of slices of tomato and sweetcorn (no sauce) and my blood sugars shooting up from stable 7 (all day) rapidly to 13 and rising (with now 4 units of insulin on board). I am wondering if changing my insulin might give me a chance of regaining some extra sensitivity.. or maybe going on metaformin or something I've heard of other of my T1 friends being on the T2 drugs as well as insulin to help control their blood sugars.
