Hi everybody i stopped smoking four months ago and am just coming to the end of using the patches :lol: very happy about this but not happy with my bs levels. Prior to stopping smoking my consultant congratulated me as my H1bc was 6 now, my sugars are constantly high even though i have upped my nightime lantus (glargine) from 19 to 24. I am waking up in the morning high (9)and in the evenings i can take a correction dose of my novarapid an hour after eating to counteract me being at say 14; check it an hour later and i'm at 15??!!! I'm feeling tired and really ****** :? has anyone else noted that stopping smoking has affected them this way. I'm even eating less carbs than i used to. Occasionally i will guesstimate carb content wrong but always check it an hour later to do a corrective dose. I have put about half a stone on in weight but as i was boderline underweight previously i am not concerned about this. I don't usually use my diabetes team at the hospital because i've always been able to sort it myself previously.
Could someone please give me some advice thanks for taking the time for reading this,
