[QUOTE="searley, post: 2685123, member: 31377"] Depending on whether your care team has given you the ability to adjust your own doses.. If they have then more insulin will have an effect If you have 2 insulins the long acting will help prevent highs in the first place, and the rapid will bring you down faster for a correction If you are on a mixed insulin then an increase will help overall but there will be not fast option - I find a brisk walk for 10 to 15 mins can have significant effect I personally would suggest talking to you gp about options to cover these situations BUT if I were to call 111 every time my bg was over 21 I’d forever be on the phone There is little risk of DKA if you’ve had insulin as the body is getting the energy it needs.. the only real risk is longer term damage from the higher BG but this can take months/years to happen.
