[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2202531, member: 41816"] [USER=420515]@Seacrow[/USER] Firstly, your vomiting sounds horrendous. What an ordeal. Do you get it happening often? What a cruel situation. Regarding your insulin needs, how about this as a theory (but that is all it is...) The more insulin we use or produce, then the more insulin resistant we may get. IR varies from person to person, and there are many factors involved. As I am sure you know, T2 is a condition of IR, but T1s can and do experience it too if any of those many factors get involved. Sometimes T1s find that their insulin resistance grows in proportion to the amount they have to use. [B][I]What if[/I][/B] your illness, and not eating, and therefore reducing your insulin usage, caused your IR to drop? Therefore your body is suddenly making more and better use of insulin and not needing as much? If that theory is correct, your IR (and therefore your insulin needs) may rise again as you return to your normal way of eating. [/QUOTE]
