[QUOTE="ljmercer, post: 1493025, member: 340351"] Have you lost any weight recently? I know insulin sensitivity can change with weight loss. You have been diabetic many years. Did you experience many problems through puberty and your teenage years? I have not long turned 18 (diabetic for over 10 years) but I struggle with insulin resistance from my teenage years and am trying to get it down so I need less insulin. The reason I'm asking this is because sometimes resistance can drop and sensitivity can rise. Despite my high resistance, it doesn't take much for me to go hypo or hyper if I fail to get any doses right! I'm not sure what else I can suggest if there hasn't been a drastic change in your lifestyle as listed above. Hope this is of some use to you. [/QUOTE]
