Hi all,
I'm tearing my hair out. For two days my sugars have been stupidly high (looking between 17-25, the lowest it's been is 10). I feel rubbish obviously but I have no idea what's causing it, or how to sort it out. My correction doses aren't working, or don't seem to be.. I've changed my pens, changed my lancets in my machine, used a different box of test strips, changed needles, changed injection site, washed hands, checked sugar on my toes. I'm away from home as well so not able to check ketones. Not sure if I'm sickening for something or what. I'm also currently in transition from child to adult services (yes I'm 21... Don't ask!) so don't have anyone to call as my old diabetes nurse isn't around. Aargh any ideas?!
Thanks in advance
