Impossible to say, it’s one of the most frustrating things about T1. Could you maybe have a hot shower or bath? That often kicks it into action for me. But try not to “rage bolus” it into submission.View attachment 27194
What is stopping the insulin from working? 2 corrections and still not going down.

Assuming it’s not your time of the month
@mountaintom this was mine yesterday. I took eleven shots of NovoSluggish and it just didn’t budge.

In my case it’s what we call “shark week” Insulin resistance for six days makes me even snappier than usual...Weird. There must be something at play. Something metabolic.
Now I've been saying to my OH for ages that it seems like novorapid sits in my system doing f-all until I start to move. Then bam - floods system and drops me from 14 to hypo in less than an hour. Can't be injection sites with me because I've only been diagnosed for 10 months.Thanks. Yeah I’ve just run up and down the stairs 10 times and walked down the track to get signal to make a phone call (we are remote here) and the insulin is working now. Weird. Sometimes it seems like it needs waking up or something.
Just be careful of stacking too much or you might have one of them lovely falling off the top of Everest drops out of nowhere and knock yourself out. If you can I'd suggest going for a short walk or something.
Yeah thanks I don’t want that. I’m about to stack some carbs in so should be ok. I’ll take my normal ratio for lunch and then see how we are mid afternoon. This thread is fascinating because I didn’t think EVERYBODY had these kinds of ups and downs. I thought you guys were all ninjas.
Hold on tight...
