Hi,
I am currently on the Libre sensor and my blood sugars are sky high and I am struggling to get a grip with them! I’ve checked my blood glucose alongside this and they seem to be running extremely higher than normal!
I’m currently one Levermir twice daily
8am =20u
8pm = 18u
Novorapid with meals and corrections
Breakfast 1:10 Lunch 1:10 Dinner 1.5:10
Metformin twice daily
Breakfast 8am
Dinner 6:30-8pm
I’ve done the obvious:
- checked for lumps - can’t see any obvious lumps
- changed the lot number of my insulin
- always do airshots when injecting
- rotating injection sites
- carb counts using the packets / and assisted by the carbs and cals app
- don’t overly fee unwell apart from a cracking head but I put that down to the high blood glucose
I have done DAFNE but with the high levels I feel I am taking bucket loads of insulin and when I look at the sensor graphs when I’m injecting it’s like the insulin isn’t even acting as they seem to rise instead of decrease.
Anything I’ve missed or any advice?
TIA
Kimberley
