[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 659009, member: 92241"] Tis the season to be sniffling. I always seem to get a cold in October, but this one seems to be out to get me. I woke up yesterday, to blood sugars of 9.2. I gave myself a couple of units of extra Lispro, and two hours later, my blood sugars are 8.8. So seeing my blood sugars were still high I gave myself another two units. Half an hour later I was 1.8. Facepalm. The next four hours saw my blood sugars struggling to get up above 3.5, only for them to shoot into 7.8-8.5 in the evening. I gave myself some extra insulin again, and enjoyed 5.7 at 1.30am, followed by 4.7 this morning. I think to myself 'woo, I'm winning!' I have my morning omelette and give myself my normal dose. I have just tested two hours on, to be back up at 9.6. Not cool Mr cold, not cool. I'm not sure what I hope to achieve by posting this, just needed a good old fashioned vent :p [/QUOTE]
