Fbg 9.7 and I don't know why.
Mind u when i did my insulin there was a problem with it's tip and only got half the insulin I twisted for. I wonder if same happened last night?
I should have tested again just before sleep.
God if a type 1 had that they could be dead!

Like I've had no insulin at all! Argh!!! :banghead: :(

Yes an infection or illness is likely to raise your bs reading. I went up to 8s and even a 9 when I had a sore throat and cold.
It should fall again as you get better.

When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!

Bless you @berylc . Is it witch hazel that takes bruising out quicker. I swear by sudocrem cream, the sooner you apply the less bruising. Wish id said sooner. Sorry.
Hi ickihun, yes it is witch hazel that takes the bruising down its very effective.
