Rebounds disguise insulin overdose very well if you aren't looking for it, and I think it's important for this poster to at least rule it out. |
If this were true he would show some signs of hypoglycemia in the day, in which he does not. This would absolutely present itself as an issue if overdose was an issue.
Gobbly here is a breif memo that mentions insulin resistance in type 1 diabetics:
Normal Insulin Sensitivity During the Late Preclinical Stage of Type 1 Diabetes -- Larger et al. 27 (7): 1842 -- Diabetes Care
Many type 1's start to get insulin resistance. The number 1 cause of this is running so high.
You really should listen to Lancet Chicks advice on learning the proper methods to control your diabetes. Whether if be MDI or a pump. You really need to do one or the other brother. If you dont you are asking for a ton of problems. I also promise it wont be as bad as you think. Either way get to a diabetes specialist right away. You really need to get your levels in check. The complications that come from high blood sugars are just awful. They literally pale in comparison to mdi and pumping.
You are still so young, only 18. You need to get this under control! Please!
