[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 875216, member: 66676"] Hi [USER=71000]@Ladybirdy75[/USER] It's not unusual for T1's to develop insulin resistance owing to weight. You should also consider introducing the following into your diet: [LIST] [*]Cinnamon [*]Chromium picolinate [*]Vitamin D3 [/LIST] The first two, in particular, are noted for their ability to improve insulin sensitivity in people; Vit D3 is highly recommended for all people with diabetes as we appear to be particularly prone to its deficiency. The book "Say no to diabetes" by Patrick Holford is a good starting point as he advocates the use of a range of vitamin and mineral supplements in varying amounts over a period of time when changing diets - on the basis that diet changes lead to changes in metabolism, water retention (loss of salts and minerals, etc.) and so on. I've been using the above (amongst others) and I personally have noted their affect upon blood sugars - especially during an occasional indulgence. [/QUOTE]
