[QUOTE="nicki92, post: 2500202, member: 550186"] Thank you all for suggestions and advice! I switched my Humalog and turns out that was indeed the culprit; I opened a new cartridge on Thursday and then immediately the spikes returned to normal levels and I'm back at 85-90% TIR. What I was confused about (and why I didn't immediately recognise this) is that I was having these crazy hypos - going from 16 down to 4 in a couple of hours. Additionally I have no idea what caused the insulin to go 'off'. I flew to the UK last week, taking the cartridge as a spare, and forgot to put it in the fridge once I arrived. So it was out of the fridge for ~4 days, then I returned home and put it back in the fridge when I got back. Then opened it two days after that. Could that temperature fluctuation have ruined it? I'm just surprised as I know it can survive out of the fridge for a month, so assumed that would be fine! [/QUOTE]
