[QUOTE="goalie, post: 254826, member: 36744"] Hi, just a few thoughts. Firstly, it is likely that your mum is becoming resistant to insulin, and the higher the doses get the more likely she is to gain weight and increase resistance. Has anyone checked her injection sites recently?? A common reason for people with T1 having poor control is that they are continuing injectiong into the same area for years on end. For many people levemir does not give 24 hr cover and it should be split. A 3 way split may be an option. In this case she might be better on a 50/50 mix with each meal, but this would be for the DSN to discuss with her. I would certainly push to get an appointment in the next 2-3 weeks, even if it is only a shorter one to get the basics checked. [/QUOTE]
