Maybe it\u2019s lipodystrophy"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>When you wonder why your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.type1support.ca\">type\u00a01 diabetes (T1D) is suddenly more challenging to manage<\/a>, you might think it\u2019s due to stress, a <a href=\"https:\/\/type1support.ca\/en\/how-to-read-food-labels\/\">carbs miscalculation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/type1support.ca\/en\/five-tips-and-tricks-to-manage-sick-days-and-type-1-diabetes\/\">illness<\/a>, or misadjusted insulin doses. But there\u2019s another possible, less known, but nonetheless more frequent, cause: lipodystrophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is lipodystrophy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lipodystrophy changes the structure of the skin and hypoderm wherever insulin is regularly injected (using a pen or syringe) or where insulin catheters or Pods are inserted (for insulin pump users). It usually manifests as bumps, gaps, or spots where the skin is harder. In any case, what might seem like a harmless condition actually affects diabetes management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulin that is injected in a spot with lipodystrophy cannot be absorbed correctly (e.g., too fast, too slow or incompletely) and will yield unpredictable results (blood sugar levels too high or too low). Sometimes, you might feel like an insulin dose just \u201cdidn\u2019t work\u201d, or experience unexpected hypoglycemia.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to watch for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bumps or gaps under the skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modified skin texture or appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Areas where injections feel less painful (which might seem like a good thing, but might actually indicate lipodystrophy) or, although rarely, more painful, if skin tissue is inflamed or indurated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inconsistent blood sugar levels with no obvious explanation<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to prevent it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no going around it: prevention means site rotation, whether you use injections, insulin catheters or Pods. Make sure you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alternate between zones (arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks);<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t inject insulin or insert a catheter or Pod too close to a previous spot;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examine your skin regularly and ask your healthcare team to check your sites when you have an appointment.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I have lipodystrophy. What do I do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have lipodystrophy, it is recommended that you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stop injecting insulin or inserting catheters or Pods on the site: it could take several months, or even longer, for the site to heal;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See your healthcare team to determine the scale of the lipodystrophy and adjust insulin doses as needed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopt a thorough, strict site rotation strategy to avoid damaging other zones.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caution!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the absorption of insulin is better, and therefore more efficient, in a healthy site, it is often recommended to reduce insulin doses by 20% to avoid hypoglycemia and to gradually readjust doses over several days.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data, however rare, on the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in the presence of lipodystrophy suggests that accuracy is not affected. However, inserting a sensor in a spot with lipodystrophy might disrupt healing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find it more challenging than usual to manage your DT1 and your blood sugar levels vary unpredictably, consider checking your injection sites. Lipodystrophy is a frequent cause of blood sugar instability, but is often overlooked. You can prevent lipodystrophy and stabilize diabetes management by implementing best practices and being cautious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To find out more<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find on our <a href=\"https:\/\/type1support.ca\/en\/modules\/tout-sur-les-lipodystrophies\/\"><strong>Support<\/strong> platform a module about lipodystrophy<\/a> that includes images to help understand what it looks like.
