I fell unwell last week. I needed more insulin all week regardless of other factors. I usually average about 20 units of insulin per day but last week required 27 units daily. It took me a little while to work it out after a couple of spikes.
I am wondering if my rather unexpected blood test results from what was a routine test might explain all this? Increase in Serum C reactive protein. Borderline liver function test (never had that before!). Low lymphocyte count. Low red blood cell count. Low haematocrit count. Low vitamin D - now being treated. But HbA1c 35.
I am very fit and well. Lots of exercise, sleep well and eat well.
Should I be worried or did I have a lurking infection somewhere?
