Thanks for that link, I saved it for future reference also. |
That is correct about insulin resistance.
It used to be that type 1's would require more and more insulin the longer they had the disease even while maintaining the same body weight. These days that doesn't happen as much, and to be honest I dont know why for sure it happened more back then, but I believe it's because back then (1970 and 80's) a good HGA1c was 10. Today insulin resistance is most common in type 2 diabetes, but for completely different reasons. Though type 1's that gain a lot of weight often experience the insulin resistance that type 2's do.
You have a lot to learn brother, and you have come to the right place, and I have no doubt you are going to catch on really quick. As you noticed a consitent theme of recommendations so far has been that you really need to use Multiple Daily Injections or a pump (in your case a pump really would be your best bet, you would notice such a huge improvement it would be like the difference between night and day also the pump handles a lot of calculations for you to make your life easier) in combination of carb counting. Talk to your endo, talk with us, use the net and get your diabetes under control. You can't run that high. If you do you are going to ruin your organs.
