Hi everyone.
Every night this week between 8pm-9.30pm I've had a huge spike in my bg levels where it's shot up to 20mmols or above.
I have been poorly this week with a throat and ear infection. However I haven't had a bg over 9mmols throughout the day but then this random rise occurs.
My carb counting for dinner is correct, I never have me a than 40-50 grams of carbs with my dinner which is usually around 4pm. I always get my hubby to double check my carb count too.
I've ended up using an increased temp basal and pen corrections numerous times this week. I've also had 2 set changes this week using the same insulin vial but after a horrendous night I've had to do an unplanned one this morning using a different vial.
Blood sugar hasn't come under 20mmols since yesterday evening despite increased temp basal, pump corrections and pen corrections. At 5.40am I took 8 units of novorapid as my bg was 21.3 but then at 8.20am it was 25.3 with 1.3 of blood ketones
Has anyone any thoughts or advice to help? I feel so lost. This is the first time anything like this has happened since I got my pump in July. I know you'll probably think I'm miscounting my carbs but I'm so strict with what I eat, I honestly don't think I'm the problem here.
Thanks for reading
