Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

Not enough information supplied to help, really.

For insulin specific questions you could be better off in the LADA/T1 area?

What you ate, how many units etc. could also help.

Can it be you have a cold or such brewing? That tends to send numbers up.

Have you changed your insulin and/or pen?
Either could be off or faulty so not working properly.

Hi,

From memory, you also take Levimir? Did you remember to give your dose the evening before?

I meant to hit hug, but oh well. I would call my doc. If you know you are doing everything that's right to keep it down, and it still going up, I'd call him.
