[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 431435, member: 17713"] I have had this prob in last two weeks.. Without steroid!! And I had a call from a mum whose daughter is on a pump and she has also had the same problem in last 2 weeks as well. Mine and hers now levelled down again.. But we have both had to increase our basals by almost 3 units in total over the 24 hours.... I actually think that the type of food (yes, you would think thats bolus) affects winter levels.. I havent had a salad in two weeks... Am now on to more root vegetables and mangetout, leeks, cabbage etc. it goes hand in hand if you are increasing bolus qty given due to different foods then the underlying basals have to be changed. This is hugely important over times such as xmas when I have two weeks of pure indulgence and for those two weeks my pump runs at 250%.... Hospitals like to see people on 50/50 or 40/60 or 60/40 bolus/basal. If for winter or summers you unwittingly give more or less bolus from a change in foods, then inevitably basal rates need to be changed. May just be steroids, i know the surgeon I work for offered to do a steroid injection in me if needed, but he did say my levels would go up.. So only have it done if I absolutely need it.. So far avoided! [/QUOTE]
