Liz,

I think you were referring to a lot of us talking about needing less insulin when the warm months come, which is usually true. It's also true that if your insulin got too warm (like in your purse in a warm climate for too long) that it has lost some potency. A new bottle is a good idea. However, vacation may be another hint to your variability. Any changes in sleep, etc. will mess with control.

You really should count carbs all the time (when all you can do is guess, then do the best you can) -- otherwise it's all a big guessing game. I don't know how I made it before carb counting! Now this disease is much less a guessing game than it used to be.

I would test more and go with the flow. Eventually you will get settled a bit more and things should even out for a while. But only for a while. Hee hee.
