suddenly need LOTS more insulin!

Hi everyone

Im having some issues with control of late.....I have been on vacation in Florida, expecting to go from the cold to hot and require less insulin as I have done previously in warmer climes, but this time not so. I never used to carb count (but have done recently as its the only way i can get anywhere close to being in control at the moment), but I seem to now be requiring a unit of insulin per 10g carb, twice what I was previously. I was as active as normal on holiday so that cant be it, and my basal was right I think....now I was thinking i didnt have a honeymoon period (I was diagnosed September 07 but the docs thought my type 1 had come on over as much as 6 months by my HBA1c reading), but now im beginning to wonder, and wonder why else I suddenly need twice as much novo as before. This is no fun!!!

Thoughts appreciated
