Hi,
So over Christmas I was struck down with cold/flu which lead me to having no taste or smell, breathlessness, headaches and fevers - multiple covid tests.. all negative.
i seem to have recovered for the most part aside from a lingering chesty cough 10 days later.. but my blood sugars still continue to be persistently high. Where I’ve doubled my novarapid and increased my basal by 50%, still getting bloods in the 20’s, Dsn has told me not to increase too much more as I may drop too quickly and seeing as there’s no ketones present to just eat low carb and wait to recover fully.
it’s driving me crazy because I just feel so defeated. I had managed to get my sugars the best they had been in 2 years and now it’s gone completely out the window. Anyone been through the same?
