Hello,
I ran the London Marathon on Sunday 13th April and ever since I cannot bring my bloods down. I wear an insulin pump (and I have changed it in case it was that) but with no luck.
I have my basal rate on 200% and I am needing to pump massive amounts when I eat anything also.
Usually I take 30 units a day of insulin approx. today so far I have taken 35 units and I haven't eaten much (a banana & glass of grapefruit juice). I am about to have something as I'm starved.
My blood at last check was 16, I'm unsure if I have keytones as i'm currently at work. Basically this has happened due to the extreme exercise on Sunday but I don't understand why and how long it will go on for.
Yesterday I did eventually go low after taking so much insulin but it just crept back up and it's a real struggle
Any ideas from anyone would be massively appreciated
thanks
simon
