I’m suddenly having an abrupt but sustained change in blood sugar and need for insulin. I was diagnosed just 6 months ago and at the beginning of December had a hba1c of 42.. so feeling very happy and thinking I got this. Well December has been horrendous. I’m struggling to keep my blood sugar below 10 and it’s often up above 15. I’ve increased my long acting by a couple of units and my short acting by almost double( a ratio of 10:1 isn’t touching it) I’ve been ill (nasty cold) and it’s been Christmas with all its excesses but is it down to this. Am I getting to the end of my honeymoon period. I’m so conscientious and finding this lack of control overwhelming. I’ve had 2 days of non festive food intake and upped my activity (in everyday life I’m v active) but this isn’t helping. I’m going to speak to my diabetic nurse tomorrow who is ace but thought I’d ask here as I’m finding it very tough
