[QUOTE="SRO, post: 1173700, member: 211387"] Hi all, Not been on here in a while due to just getting on with it, but think I need some advice! I'm finding I'm having to inject more and more insulin to keep me low, regardless of what I eat. I have put on a few stone since becoming T1, but my doses have changed to reflect this. I feel like I am suffering from insulin resistance. An example - I awoke at 15.9 this morning, injected 14 units of Novorapid at 8am (and 22U Levemir), and 3 hours later, I'm still at 11.2. I had to stop injecting in my stomach as I was suffering with some lumps and pains from injecting. Could the injection site be an issue (mainly my thighs, now). Anyone got any suggestions that I could try to get back to a slight normality? I do eat a fair amount of carbs, so feel that cutting down could help, too. Maybe the two things go hand in hand? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
