[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2131642, member: 468714"] Two thoughts which an endo would usually ask about: Injection sites. Over time (52 years in my case) it can be that injections into previously used sites is not as easy to avoid. Poor absorption may result giving less effective insulin action on controlling bsls. Changing insulins as an option to deal with this seems a bit daft when the the problem is where the injections are being given and the need to try previously unused injection sites. Diet: as you would know type of food affects bsls. Carb counting will only do so much. And in practice trying to match up insulin action to thr resultant bsls from a meal is nigh impossible on a consistent basis. My take on things. Maybe consider a low carb diet as a part of this solution.? Just a suggestion. Such an approach would need discussion with an enlightened doctor/DN and still need to consider finding unused injection sites i suspect. Best Wishes. [/QUOTE]
