Hi,
Hope everybody is keeping well and enjoying VE Day.
I've never posted on here before but i really need some advice. I'm so nervous at the moment.
Last Wednesday i started having tummy pain late in the afternoon had a few bouts of diarrhoea. Went for a walk came back home and felt awful. About 23:30pm i vomited my blood sugar at tea time was 8.8 took 3 units of novorapid for 15g carb i'm on a ratio of 1 unit for every 5 grams. After i vomited i thought i better check my ketones and they had risen to 2.4 i was so shocked and scared so my Mum rang 111 service for some advice they sent a couple paramedics to come check on me my stats were ok they told me to try and eat something and take some insulin. I did that vomited again and nearly fainted. Checked ketones they had come down to 1.1. Woke up again about 7:30am vomited again my ketones had risen to 2.8 took more insulin felt awful. Went to sleep for a couple of hours when i woke up at 10am checked ketones 3.4 phoned 999 they said get to hospital as soon as. When i got to A & E ketones had come down to 1.1 they gave me some iv fluids and anti sickness meds. They said it was just a tummy bug. I came home my ketones had come down to 0.3 which was such a relief. I phoned my DSN on Friday she said i did the right thing and said if i needed to take additional insulin like every two hours i could because my readings were going up as high as 22. This week i've been a little better but there still going quite high. But the problem i'm having is that i'm waking up high at the moment about 12 - 14 mmol. I'm noticing from my libre graphs that from 8am it starts rising i usually get up at 8:30am tresiba 10 units then i do my novorapid but i find it's doing nothing. I start off at like 14 take 7 units for 16g carbs by 11am i can be up as high as 17 so i take an additional unit but find it so slow. If i would do that usually my reading would drop but at the moment the novorapid is taking so long to work and is just working at snail pace. Just wondering if this could be down to still recovering from a virus? I just can't seem to get my blood sugar under 10 right now.
I'm so worried thinking i'm going to be stuck like this forever and i keep thinking the worst of everything.
Thanks for taking the time to read this just looking for any guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated please i'm just stuck and feel so helpless.
Hope everybody is keeping well and enjoying VE Day.
