have Insulin Resistance?  I am starting to think that ...

I hesitate to ask about this but I was wondering what I am overlooking
in my thought process.  So here goes and thanks for your input.
I am not taking any meds for BG but do for Cholesterol and Blood

I heard from a MiniMed 512 user that the battery life they get is 2 or 3
days to 1 week.  My average with the 511 has been 1 month per battery, and I
