Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help me
Bit of background. I'm t1 diagnosed April 2019. Im on lantus at night novorapid in day as and when I need it. I have a libre. My consultant and nurse are happy with me adjusting doses myself.
So, last few days my sugars have just not gone below 10. At all really. They're pretty much between 11 and 15, and higher after food. I keep having novorapid, but its hardly having any effect. Usually 1 unit will bring me down 2mmol . So its very frustrating. I'm having huge doses to eat. Double what I usually have.
I dont feel sick. Don't think I have an infection.
I've checked ketone. Thankfully don't have any
I've changed to new pens of novorapid and a new pen of lantus
I've changed injection sites
None of the above have helped
So my next plan as of tonight is increase lantus. One unit . Then wait 2 days. Then repeat. Until I see a change
Couple of questions
1. Does this seem like a good next step?
2. Any one have any insight on why and if basal needs can just change like that ? For no obvious reason ??
Thanks if you have even read all the above . And thanks in advance for any advice
