[QUOTE="samanthax1, post: 1665011, member: 466183"] My 15 yr old daughter diagnosed T1 11/11/17. Got the CGM Dexcom a few weeks ago. Before that we checked her BS many times daily, morning, before meals as directed and before bed. Her numbers seemed good, around 70-140. She got the Flu about 3 wks ago and bs shooting to 3-400 all day and night. Since then seems BS isnt responding to insulin. Up dose from 1/8- 1/6, Dexcom shows she's still almost 400 two hours after meals and takes 4 or more to start coming down. Idk if she's always been high after eating or if it's because I have the CGM now and just notice it? I've cut her carbs and still she shoots up! Why do doctors say the highs don't matter only before meals? Doesn't it still cause complications? Also she seems to be retaining fluid in thighs and ankle. Insulin cause? [/QUOTE]
