HELP INSULIN PROBLEMS

Hi again @cuxy88 My guess woukd still be insulin resistance, for what it's worth.

I know some Type 1s have this, and some take additional meds for it (eg Metformin) Has your consultant suggested anything like that?

Also, have you had things like thyroid problems, PCOS, etc ruled out?

I'm not a medical professional but I understood that Type 1s could get insulin resistance. I think it's referred to as 'double diabetes' sometimes - Type 1 plus the Type 2-like insulin resistance. It might not be that, of course, but if it was me, I'd push a little more for info about that. Maybe start a thread here asking? Or try your DSN?

I know you're really keen to get your BS down, so even if it wasn't insulin resistance at least you'd rule another thing out and be closer to an answer.
