Hi everyone.
I wanted to ask about insulin resistance, this is a quick summary:
- 38 years old
- Type 1, stated 3 years ago
- The amount of insulin I have to take has increased 2.5 times in the last year (now, around 62 levemir a day, 2/3 units of novorapid per 10 carbs)
- Weight: 88 kg, Height: 5'9 / 1.75
I know the obvious answer is I have to lose weight and exercise. Also since the start of the pandemic I started to work remotely and I had a child, there should be no excuses that's true, but it is really hard for me to find time.
Before this year I used to have a very good control but lately... I had around h1abc 6.2 and now I have 7.9. And I don't eat worse...
Apart from the exercise, are there additional things I could do to decrease my insulin resistance? Should I be even more worry for the amount of insulin I'm taking?
Thanks in advance.
