Hi
The last three or four days, in the late afternoon my blood sugar has been shooting up into the mid to high 30s, and refusing to come down again. For example, at 8.30 this evening it was 31.9. 6 hours and 34 units of insulin later ...29.9. I suppose I should be grateful it’s actually gone below 30. The mystery continued because it’s been fine on waking (6.4 today, 6.5 yesterday). I’ve changed both insulin cartridges, and needles. Neither has helped. On the urine strips, ketones are reading as ‘faible ‘ (?sp). Unsurprisingly, I feel like death.
Any advice on what to do next? I don’t have a DSN to contact, and my GP is...an idiot who is “scared” of insulin. It’s getting difficult to do my job, I can’t sleep because of constant toilet visits, and I’m scared to eat.
Help!
