I have a cold and it seems my requirements have increased between 50 and 100%. It's absolute madness. So far today I've given 26 units of Novorapid, 12 units of Levemir, and the lowest it went was 9.8, and that was for about ten minutes. I don't even know what strategy I'm adopting now as it seems all I can do is keep giving massive corrective doses until it goes back into the normal range.
Just to illustrate how little anything is working, I woke up at 5am with a reading of 16.0 and gave 5 units of Novorapid. I woke up again at 8:15 and it was at 14.3.
I don't remember a cold causing such problems. Having Covid-19 twice was a walk in the park compared with this. What are other people's experiences and strategies?
