Really struggling today. My bloods have been high since I woke and they will not come down for love or money !
I've had a virus of some kind for about 3 weeks now (cough and cold type thing) and for some reason I ended up with a fever over the weekend on and off so there is obviously something in my system still.
I am fine today and have been in work as usual.
I've got no keytone strips and I've been between 10 and 15 (18 at highest) all day. I've only consumed 70 carbs all day and injected a total 20 units of fast acting the latest batch being tonight and it still won't come down !? It's almost like my body is resistant to it.
I am aware that you can become resistant to insulin during periods of illness but I feel ok in myself.
Should I be concerned ? Is there anything I can do ?
