Hope you're feeling better! My blood sugar's were high for a few weeks unfortunately. Viruses like that can play havoc with Diabetes, my Ketones were going high aswell for a while.

Usually I forget to eat at work so maybe this ketone problem is a lot more long term than I thought! Obviously with Covid that would of definitely made it worse. For the last couple days I've made sure I've had 4 meals. Guess what no ketones at all! Maybe this is why I've been finding it very...

Thank you very much that is genuinely very helpful advice! See how that goes [emoji846]

I was told to follow the sick day rules due to potential long Covid and test for ketones at least once a day or if it goes over 11. Just thought I'd ask as the Diabetes team are hard to get in contact with at the moment.

Didn't know that! At work I can go a long time sometimes without eating

Hello I'm 4 weeks since postive with Covid and while my blood sugar's are slowly improving I'm getting a rather weird problem. I'm testing my sugars at times and they're below 10 as low as 6 but seem to have ketones over 0.6. anyone else experienced this as to me I thought ketones had to...

What are your sugars like normally? It sounds like you need to increase all your insulin you're taking. Have you been ill recently? That elevates it!

Sorry to hear everyone's struggles even though it's slightly comforting to know others understand. Yesterday I had a good day thinking I was returning to normal. This morning carnage once again [emoji23][emoji24].

I am currently taking 15 units at 10pm every night. Usually I take 13 but I don't want to push it too much as I worry about it dropping in the night. I haven't actually noticed the midnight trend thank you it's definitely rising in the morning which used to be a problem when I took too much...

Put my lantus up more. Kept the ratios the same. Still spending 50 percent of the time out of target. Very very frustrating.

I'm glad that others understand what I mean. It's very tiring and hard work. Regarding the highs and the Libre now I've been testing when It goes up it does seem off by even 3mmol so only going to correct after testing with the finger prick. I find the Libre definitely over exaggerates lows and...

So I'm around day 16 of testing positive of Covid as symptoms are more or less gone apart from cramping within my muscles. I feel like I've lost perception of my ratios, corrections and long acting insulin. Has anybody else experienced this as my blood sugar's are like the big one at Blackpool...

Probably my last update now. BG's are still higher but ketones are minimal only really spiking in the morning. Main Symtoms I have now is rather painful Muscle cramps in my arms and legs and just feeling run down. Definitely never want to experience anything like this again but it's taught me a...

3 days on feeling well enough to do some activities again. Ketones aren't going over 0.6 which is better but definitely still getting high blood sugar readings. This has been a journey definitely the worst symtom I have now Is my muscles locking up easily

Thought I was getting somewhere then I wake up in the night with 1.8 ketones [emoji24]. Managed to get it down but so tired from it all. My Covid result came back postive still on day 6 so not over yet.

Thank you. Been having D and C I'll get some Zinc delivered after reading about it.

Update a few days later. Still feeling a little unwell with a heavy head but an improvement from what I was. My sugars haven't been as bad still waking up with some ketones but soon come down when I correct. Hopefully my body mends itself soon.

Next update, feel like I'm bringing everyone on my Covid journey [emoji1787]. Yesterday morning I made a short visit to the hospital as doctor's wanted to have me checked over as I had a temperature. I have been given a 7 day course of antibiotics. Anyway to make it relevant I adjusted my Lantus...

I can see th correlation. My blood sugar's are rather high but every two hours I'm having a piece of toast or an apple. Just tested again and it's LO which is crazy

I feel like I take a big correction and drink lots of water it comes down to even minimal Ketones. 5 hours later it decides to shoot up again. My blood sugar's the highest they've been is 15.0 but again comes straight back down again. For the past few days I've not really been eating properly...
