[QUOTE="jopar, post: 228769, member: 11712"] What happening with these hypos The lumps in her stomach are called Lipohypertrophy, which is basically lumps of fat which has been stimilated by the insulin injection... This will effect the insulin adsorption either by making it erratic or requiring more insulin to do the same Job Now because you GF has changed sites to avoid these lumps, her insulin is adsorbing a lot better hence her lower suger levels and hypo's... So she needs to adust her insulin accordenly.. Your GF isn't at her idea weight, as her high BG's will be effeting her weight... Ketones with high BG's means that the body is going into DKA, so its burning fat but it doesn't mind where it can get fat from to burn, it take it from anywhere and it will take welch needed fat from mucles including the heart.. So she may think she's at her ideal weight but she's not as the weight is unhealthy in fashion.. She needs to learn carb counting, so she adjusts her insulin intake to match the carbs she's eating... But she does have to remember that yes courses such as DAFNE will help her eat normal foods, and this does sort of include the nicities of life, such as cake and/or chocolate but everything in moderation..
