Morning all.

A huge hug to @Robinredbreast - don't know what to say except ditch your current insulins and start over. There's no denying that bad batches happen. Whack in some from the new pack and maybe drink a lot of water, have a hot bath (drops my sugars), and start testing for ketones. Just in case.

And like @Knikki says - totally not your fault!

Is there a filthy bug knocking on your door?

Morning everyone, but not a good one, I have been up very early not feeling great..................because BS is extremely high. I feel upset and embarrassed,as it's 22.9 I don't know what is happening, maybe the whole pack of Insulin is ropey or it's me.

Morning having not been up long scan down here and your talking peanut butter and marmite o_O:***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***:.

Ok new day start on a 4.8 which is the lowest morning I have started this week, so either.

Pushing long acting back up has kicked in.
The change of three day old knickers has helped.
The fresh insulin is beginning to work.
My stupid metabolism has finally finished throwing its toys out the pram and decided to cooperated.
Or it's Saturday and I have beaten Karen for the first Morning.

Haha only just ive been up for over an hour left me phone upstairs and couldnt be bothered going back up and getting it
 
Got to nip to Asda before it fills up with people.

Hope things improve @Robinredbreast
 
@Robinredbreast Ouch! You have my sympathy, I've been in the 20's more times than I care to admit. Hope you get it sorted out pronto. I'm sure you know it, but don't forget high BG causes further insulin resistance, so correction factors need adjusting at those dizzy heights.

@Knikki Maybe it was the three-day-old pants causing your woes all along?

My Morrisons crunchy peanut butter and Marmite jars sit next to each other in the cupboard... Never thought about 'crossing the streams' before, though...
 
RRB, don’t be embarrassed! We’ve all done it, it happens, it’s all part of T1 life. But I do understand your distress xxx Big hugs to you ❤️
 
Yippee!! My new silver neckchain arrived. I am highly allergic to the nickel they sometimes cut sterling silver with as part of the alloy used. When it's there, I get severe eczema all round my neck. This one is guaranteed cut with copper and no nickel at all.

Now I can wear my little pendant :)

Oh wow that's bad, not managed to hit those dizzy heights last week.

Don't feel embarrassed, there is nothing to feel embarrassed about :) look at me over the last week totally lost control and still have no idea why. Seems, fingers crossed, it's back to more normal figures.

So couple of questions.
Did you miss calculate insulin carb ratio?
Did you forget to inject one or other insulin?
Did you go for the Kinikki special cake?
Are you coming down with lurgey?

There is always an up side, to everything, and I'm sure you will get things back to normal :)

PS it happens to us all at one time or another, that's what makes T1 so wonderful, frustrating and a complete PITA plus brings us all together.

No cake, but my readings had been higher the day before, so....................all Insulin's taken, could of miscalculated but that reading was exceptionally high :banghead::wideyed: don't think I am coming down with anything nasty either, as I feel okay, only this morning felt sick and lethargic.
Thanks for your reply, diabetes is a complete PITA

Morning
I'm waiting for himself to emerge before deciding what the weekend will bring. If he's still snotty it will be gym and bread. If he's feeling revived we will head out.
@Knikki only 3 day old knickers? If you turn them round and inside out you can get at least 4 days out of them.
@Robinredbreast maybe a good idea to change your knickers, just in case.
But I think Knikki and his dirty kaks has more reason to feel embarrassed.
Hope you all recover soon ... @porl69 and his dodgy chest included.
Nomnomnom just taken a look in the kitchen and remembered last night's ban xiao pancakes.

Clean knickers, as @Knikki said, it's PITA, feeling better now thanks Helen x

Robin, with your recent health challenges, have you done the ketones thing? I know you are extremely experienced, but I know if something totally left field happens to me, I can lose my instincts to the the right thing.

No, I haven't anything to test ketones ( I will ask my GP) but I am feeling better now and thank you for your friendly reply :)
