hi all,
Seven weeks ago I was admitted to hospital after collapsing due to multiple pulmonary embolisms.
When I came out my BM’s were elevated from its previous 7 to 10’s to now high teens early 20’s
I contacted my local diabetic team and was told not to worry as some insulin resistance is to be expected after such a stressful hospital stay. Now five weeks out of hospital and BM’s are still high. (high teens.)
How long should it take for my BM’s to return to previous levels.
I was advised to increase my insulin to help combat the high readings.
Initially I was on 10-12 units of Novarapid and 54units Toujeo
Currently taking 32 units novarapid and 65units Toujeo
Any advice greatfully received
Cheers Diz
