[QUOTE="azure, post: 1197574, member: 39639"] I suspect hormones too. Yes, it does seem a large increase but I remember a sudden growth and development around the age of 10 or 11 (I wasn't diabetic then) so a special growth spurt would make sense. I don't know if insulin requirements are affected by periods starting, but, again, maybe her body is gearing up for that or a general puberty growth. I know that must be worrying, but if it is that, it shows all's going well with her growth and development. The only other thing to ask is if her sites are ok. Is it possible she's using somewhere where her absorption has become poor? That happened to me once and my sugars went high over the course of a couple of weeks. I had been using my tummy for years, then it suddenly didn't work, but I didnt realise that's what it was so fought highs for weeks until it occurred to me to move to a different body area. That made everything go back to normal. Also, if your daugher has changed shape at all then perhaps her cannulas may need a rethink? Just another possibility. I would think that was less likely but it's worth a mention. Finally, have you changed to a fresh insulin vial/cartridge just in case the insulin has lost effectiveness? [/QUOTE]
