:( recently iv noticed my insulin is not lowering my sugar and my stomach seems to be bloated all the time and i carnt go To go toilet this happend suddenly im really scared has anyone had this problem at all?
 
Have you changed your diet recently and how have your levels been?
 
Hi i eat less carbs and my sugars have been really wierd high low and sometimes sugar wont move at all and sometimes insulin doesnt work at all this has really scared me and i dont know what to think
 
Firstly, wait. Insulin rarely acts so quickly that you see a change within the hour. Don't inject any more until you can see if what you have used has done anything.

Secondly, have you been to see your doctor about your gastro-intestinal issues? It's always possibly that you are ill and this isn't related to diabetes, which would also affect your sugars.
 
If it is recent it could just be a virus so wait and see, I agree with @tim2000s. Don't get into the trap of over testing and injecting too much close together as that is a recipe for disaster, a trap I am sure many of us have fallen into, "its not coming down, better have some more!' It sounds a little like you are stressing too which will not be helping matters! Stress really does effect the gut, I know it is hard but try and relax a little, if the symptoms persist then I would see your G.P. but I have in the past suffered from stomach problems of no real known origin but I do find now if I am under some kind of stress or even a break in the normal routine it is the first thing I find is effected, hope you feel a little better soon.
