[QUOTE="Jeremy.M, post: 2405121, member: 522049"] I'm completely at a loss, so I'm going to go ahead and talk to my GP and endo. Woke up with 8.7 mmol/l this morning and had turkey, lettuce and cheese on keto bread. Had an additional half slice with peanut butter on it – probably about 33g of protein in total. I also had a few nuts, maybe about 10g of carbs worth. I took 4 units of NovoRapid with the meal. Two hours later, I ended up with 15 mmol/l and it would not budge even one hour later, which hit me as a massive surprise, considering that much of that protein shouldn't have even converted itself to glucose. I lost my composure and decided that I was just going to correct it and keep a small bottle OJ handy in case I needed it, so I took 6 more units of NovoRapid. However, turns out I didn't even need the OJ because it took four hours for my sugar to come down to 7.6 mmol/l. After that, it slowly trickled down to 4.2 mmol/l, so I ate a small salad that had cheese, lettuce and small amount of chicken on it. Didn't take any more insulin. One hour later, I'm back at 10 mmol/l. Something seems very, very wrong here. Am I insulin resistant, even though I've supposedly had low insulin levels this entire time? Could I have 'double diabetes'? Is my insulin not working properly? I'm becoming fearful of eating food and injecting rapid-acting insulin. I've been rotating spots and priming it before I use it, so I know that insulin is being put into my body. My endo's office is closed until Tuesday, but I'm going to contact my GP tomorrow / Monday. This is insane, it's extremely frustrating. I haven't been able to get a handle on anything; not my insulin-to-carb ratio, correction factor, nor a sense of what my insulin sensitivity factor is. Everything seems so far out of whack and getting rapid-acting insulin was supposed to be the key that would allow me to actually start consuming a healthy amount of calories again; from different sources once again.
