Insulin resistance
Hello everyone, is there insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes?Has anyone happened to someone?I am needing practically twice the insulin for the same hydrates and I do not know if that can be the reason
Well, it's normal.
There are many factors, premenstruation, a virus, age, etc.
Yes, it's called resistance.There are people who are using metformin and they are doing well.Not all endocrine prescribes it for DT1.
I have it every morning and dose dose the days before menstruation.The other option is to climb basal, but for 4 days it does not compensate for me.

It has happened to us with our daughter for a simple cold, by medication (corticosteroids or syrups), because it hits a stretch, or for reasons that we do not know.Sometimes with other families we agree that the arrival of heat or cold in spring and autumn influences.We have concluded that many times we will not know the cause and what we do is increase the dose of insulin to duplicate the fast, and well, when we were also slowly with feathers because if not the nights were wrong.
Now with the closed handle system it is easier because there is no slow or fast, we simply decided to increase insulin pulses for hours.And we avoid the problem that, when the cause caused by resistance disappears, it has hypos until the effect of slow "overdose" is passed.That it was also Tresiba that are 40h action, and become eternal.
Especially you have to be careful when that resistance, normally passenger, pass.If you see that you start having hypos suspect that this extra need for insulin is happening and puts less insulin.It is normal to end up returning to the insulin doses prior to the episode you comment, and there is no other than being attentive.

Thank you very much I will be asking, a question that is the closed ASA system?

The system called "closed handle" consists of an insulin pump that communicates with the glycemic sensor transmitter, the pump can make decisions through an intelligent and injecting algorithm insulin depending on the glycemia value that we have at all times andalso depending on patterns detected in previous days (for example, in our case night hyperglycemia of 23h to 2h approx).It is the closest thing to a pancreas that we have today.It is not much less perfect (hopefully it was) but it makes things very easier.When wearing a pump does not need slow and fast insulin, with the same insulin reservoir the pump is applyThe mobile.
Well, I did not know him of the insulin pump but already connected to the sensor, thank you very much for the explanation :)
