I've had quite an afternoon of it. Wasn't feeling great all day but hadn't been sick or had 'the runs' so at lunchtime I had my 8 Cp's and 12units Novorapid. Within 1/2 hr my BG was 1.8! Several CP's (fruit juices, jelly babies) later it was still way too low. After spending 1/2 hr on the phone with NHS24 for them to tell me I was doing the right thing loading with carbs and they didn't know why it wasn't working either, I followede their final bit of advice and phoned my GP. After discussion we agreed that I had a low level dose of Noro virus that was preventing me from getting the carbs I was eating (how does that work?) and suggested I use the Glucagon I keep at work. Did this and now my BG is 16.8! Since I can't eat anything how much BD insulin should I take (I use Lantus, normally 14units) and how much corrective QI should I be looking at as I don't want to crash down and need more Glucagon to get back up. Help!
