Ok so definitely need to change it back to evenings then. It's even worse when I wake up and it's high! One morning it was 17 and I had ten units!!!! With 1 slice of toast!! Tested 2 hours later and it was still 15! Never had this problem before so bit scary

Ugh diabetes is exhausting!

When I did the DAFNE course Afew months ago they set up all my doses and now I'm having to take way more insulin and it still often ends up in the teens. I was ill for the last month but all I have left is a cough, n I'm talking a cough once every 3-5 mins. U know that annoying kind! Do u think...

I haven't. But I usual wake up with it around the same. Although It occasionally drops in the night recently and I hypo after going to bed on 10 ish. It's been giving me no end of trouble! I'm having to have so much Insulin for 1 slice of toast than I used to have. How do I change it back to...

For the past month or so now I've been really resistant to insulin in the mornings! it's been sending me sky high and struggling to keep it down. A while ago I changed my long acting from bed time to morning. Could it be that the long acting is running out an hour or 2 before breakfast so my...

But my sugar goes down about 5 or 6 mmols(?) in the night anyway as I was just about to test it to change it when I got ill, so been waiting to get better. Therefore if I add 50% it'll drop too much in the night? I checked my keytones and they seem to be back to normal at 0.1. But I've got an...

Really? They said to just got back if it goes above 1.5! They didn't seem very concerned tbh! I've been feeling so lousy! This bug is lasting so long :-(

As I keep posting about it u may know I've had loads of bugs and cold and still have the remainder of a cough that's lingering, still messing with my sugars! And been really worrying me. I did my keytones this morning as my sugar was 17 I had 3 units and it wouldn't budge at all. My keytones...

No I've just finished antibiotics for a throat infection but that's it. I think my year has been so awful and worrying n caused a lot of stress, that and bad control in the past has put things in my mind. I've been having panic attacks over my sugars going high due to being so ill over Xmas...

After 15 ish years of sort of ignoring my diabetes, always injecting but never really testing I've had some high hba1c results of between 8 and 10. But also had some abit better than that! I had a baby 18 months ago and have since come down with severe anxiety that has got worse as time goes on...

I also had a baby when I found out my sugars weren't so good. But from then on I got them in the best control I've had in my life (15 years diabetic) I went to the doctors and was referred straight to the hospital. every 1-2 weeks for the entire pregnancy I was seen for blood and urine tests and...

Still being a pain. This morning it went up to 21 after breakfast :-( then I took 3 units which usually brings me down. I tested 2 hours later and was 23!!!! So I took another 3 units. Tested keytones and it's 0.4. Texted sugar again 45 mins later and it's 19 so come down a little. Very...

It's not all day it's just in the morning some days lunch too. Once I bring it down it stays down so don't wanna up the basil. I saw my nurse yesterday as I was all panicked about it. She basically just reassured me that it's just cause I'm ill, keep doing what I'm doing and it'll be better once...

I tried raising it the 2 units and it still went up. I'm scared to do it more incase I suddenly don't need the extra. Very frustrating!

For the past 2 weeks I've had a cold and Afew days ago went to the doctor with a throat infection. In the mornings my sugars have been going up to 17 ish after breakfast. So each day I was giving 2 units to bring it back down and it came down fine. So I decided instead of waiting for it to go...

That's aweful for them to say! Mine was uncontrolled at conception but the moment I found out I tried my hardest to keep them perfect which was hard for me as I've never been controlled. I had a healthy baby girl! She was in special care for a week after birth with low blood sugars but I was...

I had a baby 18 months ago via emergency c section. All the way through pregnancy I was asking for c section and they said no they like to do natural if possible. I was induced at 37 weeks due to baby suddenly growing fast and got to 9 cm when she got distressed and had to rush me to theatre...

Are you on a pump now Sarah? I've just done a carb counting course and hope to be referred for a pump now.

I didn't know that if u miss a meal it impacts the next one. I'm about to go up to 2 units per 10g for morning and lunch. Seems like a lot to me but I keep getting ridiculous highs. It's really getting me down but I see my nurse next week!

Just curious what ratios of insulin to 10g of carb people are on? I'm currently tweeting mine and finding it hard to get it right!
