Newbie seeking help?

[1etes]

I'm a newly diagnosed T1DM (about 1 and half years ago)
More recently, I have needed more correctional doses and I find that even that doesn't reduce my blood sugars.
I have visited my doctor who have advised further insulin doses but this hasn't really made a difference.

My usual administration site is my abdomen - but I feel there may be an element of lipodystrophy.
I changed my administration site to my arm and I have noticed this helps.

Am I out of my honeymoon period or do I need to alter my injection sites?

Can any of the pros on here help me out please?
Thank you

How certain are you that your basal dose is still correct?

Thank you for your reply - my doctor has access to my libre data and says that the basal seems okay as its a flat line.

Is this correct?

Try using thighs and buttocks too. You shouldn’t just be injecting into one area.

I tried my arm earlier on today and my sugars came right down.
I'll be trying my thigh and buttocks.
Thank you so much for your help
