[QUOTE="nigelho, post: 943165, member: 41170"] The doses you're on are very high and seems to be fixed. Why don't your care team try novorapid or Apidra and teach you how to carb count. By reducing the carbs/low carb meals is best. I'm type 1 and very insulin resistant and use Apidra plus 2 x 500mg metformin tablets with each meal. I carb count. I was 60 years old on diagnosis and GP put me down as type 2 and gave me 1 tablet metformin. Within 2 weeks I was in hospital with my BSs in the high 20's and some ketones. Hospital put me immediately on insulin and I was reclassified as type 1 which I prefer to type 2 as I have better control with quick acting and long lasting insulins plus 6 X 500mg metformin SR tablets per day. Try novorapid or Apidra instead of Humalog 50. If you need long lasting insulin then maybe you're mare type 1 than 2. Some GP's still thing type 1 is for young people only....WRONG. What are your BSs and HBA1c.. Ask to be referred to your hospital's diabetes team as you might be type 1. [/QUOTE]
