[QUOTE="BertSmyth1, post: 2444386, member: 438540"] Hi Could do with some advice please So I was in a pump since I was 19, worked well. Since around May control wasn’t so good by July I was having bad hypos in the night, had dropped my basal down to 0.350 (Humalog I used for pump) lows would mean big rebounds for me in the morning Unfortunately I had a an accident due to a bad hypo-my licence has been revoked I have been off the pump to regain some control?!! So on pump holiday til things settle down a bit!Since 20th July been back on injections The issue I am having is the highs when j eat food (I carb count & don’t eat masses of carbs & active) My night time sugars are better, taking some adjusting. On nova rapid & Tresiba Normally my lunch at work is 3 corn cakes-1 banana I take 3 units for this bit been told by my nurse to increase my dose by 2 as having such bad highs My numbers are normally around 7, I tend to have an early lunch as my break is around 11.30 am, by 12.05 I was 14.7 & rising Today I hit 19.7 by 1pm, I gave 3 units to correct,I was high til around 5pm- 16.9 & dropping, had a light tea, gave correct insulin at 7.10 pm I’m 19.2 I have felt absolutely wiped This is a regular occurrence on workdays for me, really struggling My nurse says it could be my injection sites, I do rotate my sites Just battling with this & feeling wiped out by these very high numbers I feel like I had a lot more control on the pump [/QUOTE]
