[QUOTE="Jenna_Rees, post: 2063903, member: 440682"] Thank you for this post, it has been really useful for me too. I have been type 1 for 10 years but have always been on the pill or had the coil fitted. I have recently come off of these as we are trying to start a family and have been experiencing high readings especially the week leading up to my period, although took a few cycles to work this out. I only recently read something about increase in insulin resistance due to the hormones between ovulation and your period. My cycle is around 30 days and this time (even been doing readings through the night ) I think I have worked out from about day 24 I can increase my background insulin by a unit every day (10-15% increase). I take two background jabs, one in the evening and one in the morning, I find it’s more my night time one that needs increasing rather than my day one. It still gets very confusing, and annoying but certainly tracking my cycle has definitely helped. [/QUOTE]
