Hello, this is definitely something you need to see a doctor about! Do you have a Diabetes or Primary Care physician? I am a Type 1 Diabetic and have been since I was 4 months old so I definitely know what you are experiencing. A couple of years ago, I was becoming resistant to the Insulin I was taking, so my doctor added Metformin to my Insulin regimen and it has helped immensely. This may be a idea that you and doctor can discuss. Let us know how this progresses
