Hi
Could do with some advice please
So I was in a pump since I was 19, worked well. Since around May control wasn’t so good by July I was having bad hypos in the night, had dropped my basal down to 0.350 (Humalog I used for pump) lows would mean big rebounds for me in the morning
Unfortunately I had a an accident due to a bad hypo-my licence has been revoked
I have been off the pump to regain some control?!! So on pump holiday til things settle down a bit!Since 20th July been back on injections
The issue I am having is the highs when j eat food (I carb count & don’t eat masses of carbs & active)
My night time sugars are better, taking some adjusting. On nova rapid & Tresiba
Normally my lunch at work is 3 corn cakes-1 banana
I take 3 units for this bit been told by my nurse to increase my dose by 2 as having such bad highs
My numbers are normally around 7, I tend to have an early lunch as my break is around 11.30 am, by 12.05 I was 14.7 & rising
Today I hit 19.7 by 1pm, I gave 3 units to correct,I was high til around 5pm- 16.9 & dropping, had a light tea, gave correct insulin at 7.10 pm I’m 19.2
I have felt absolutely wiped
This is a regular occurrence on workdays for me, really struggling
My nurse says it could be my injection sites, I do rotate my sites
Just battling with this & feeling wiped out by these very high numbers
I feel like I had a lot more control on the pump
