Presumably needing to inject more for the same food/activity?I might have missed something. How are you measuring insulin resistance?
im basing it off the fact that the same insulin rates i was using 2-3 weeks ago isnt working AT ALL. ive increased everything from basal, to bolus to correctionI might have missed something. How are you measuring insulin resistance?

So sorry, missed that you have Type 1!I might have missed something. How are you measuring insulin resistance?
Any chance you're ill? eg covid? (eg I've had urine infections without symptoms),
Or you've had a very very long honeymoon that is only just ending?
There are unfortunately a lot of reasons why one's insulin needs can suddenly go up....
I usually need more insulin in the mornings because of dawn phenomena....
In theory it's supposed to help T2s...
But I can't find anything about its effects on T1s....
Maybe you should trial a week without it and see if it makes a difference???
Are you injecting @JoyChaos ?
Sudden high bgs occur when I am ill but also when I've got my pump site on top of a fatty lump or the cannula hasn't gone in properly OR as others have mentioned when I am ill in which case the insulin I take doesn't seem to make a dent.
Just be wary of a sudden reversal in the other direction.
IR caused by weight gain, pregnancy etc. would not be so dramatic as you describe but yes type 1s can get 'double diabetes' too.
Yeasty infections didn't do that for me and were usually a sign of high blood sugars so the sudden insulin resistance may have caused that and not the other way around. Keep drinking plenty of fluid, massage the sites and let us know if you find out what's caused this!the only thing i can think of is maybe just maybe i have a yeast infection. im not having any symptoms of that, but usually i dont have in your face, loud symptoms either. might get an at home test just to see. but i cant see anyone till two weeks. every dr i goto is booked up the wazoo
