Insulin/food balance not behaving as normal?

Hormones? Does it tend to coincide with that time of the month?

Do people ever experience days where their blood sugar is unusually high and much greater amounts of insulin are required despite eating fewer carbohydrates/sugars than normal?

Yes. I find it happens sometimes, the most frequently seems to be when I've had a particularly heavy gym session or when I haven't been to the gym for more than 3 days.

Yes, I sometimes get one or two days of unexplained higher blood sugar...
There has to be a reason, it's just I don't know what it is. It's annoying and unsettling to feel wrong-footed like this when you can't think of anything you've done differently. I grit my teeth, treat the highs - with caution because I don't want to make things worse - and wait for better days.
On the other hand, if you are eating far fewer carbs than normal, is there a chance that you are getting a hypo and then a reaction to that?

It can also work the other way round @claire mccann, such is life with diabetes and no matter how hard we look for an answer we don't always find it
