So, longs story short etc
Sunday - full set change, cannula (90degree, steel), tubing (70cm), new cartridge. All changed after my long run in the morning.
No pain from cannula either on insertion or after
From late Monday onwards control started to deteriorate, can't really take any account of Monday as it will be affected by the previous days long run. No significant change in diet, still around 70-100g carbs a day.
My thoughts and solutions so far
- exercise - slowed down the running, but I've been walking more - unlikely to have a significant effect
- stuff on hands - more attention to handwashing, but would not affect more than one or two readings
- bad cannula position and poor absorption - changed cannula last night, woke up this morning at 8.5 (normal is less than 6)
- change basal profile this morning - increased by 10%, Aberdeen has been notably cooler, but the offices are pretty warm, no evidence of any colds etc
Last thing on my mind is just a bad insulin supply and if it's no better then I'll change cartridge tonight.
Anyone got any other thoughts?
Cheers, Dave
