[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1173716, member: 53162"] Hey [USER=211387]@SRO[/USER] Reading your post reminded me of my issues with managing my type 1, I too have put on considerable weight since being diagnosed and I too get periods of what I believed was insulin resistance, so here is my take on your situation. Firstly do you take a split dose of Levemir ? I didn't get on well with levemir, was on split doses, so went on to try Tresiba which I found much more effective in my control, it may be worth looking at doing some basal fasting tests to see if your background is the issue: [URL]http://www.salforddiabetescare.co.uk/index2.php?nav_id=1007[/URL] If you have lumps then try different areas, anywhere you can pinch an inch of skin is a good rule. Have you checked your insulin ? Try a new cartridge if unsure. Are you coming down with anything, dental infection ? Any illness/infection will raise your levels. Cutting down on carbs is what I personally did to help reduce the highs/lows, I still eat them, but not as much and bolus for protein too as there is no free foods with diabetes. If you're getting frustrated with your levels try exercise, walk, gentle run nothing too extreme this will help you mentally cope better too. I have found that type 1 can change with the weather, literally, there is more often than not a reason so try not to get down hopefully you will learn the reason why ;) [/QUOTE]
