Hey folks,
So I took quite ill on Sunday and it is having quite an impact on my blood sugars. since I went on the pump in October I have managed to keep it within or at least close to the range that it is set to. However, I was rushed into hospital with a suspected virus (high hr, high bp and a temp of 39) and I can't seem to get my blood sugar stable. I've even made a sick day setting on my pump which is more than doubling my basel rates. even though I'm feeling slightly better now it's still not right.
does anyone know why this might be? I know that illness has an impact of BG but I didn't think it was that much. I'm never usually ill so never really had to deal with this.
Thanks
Craig
