[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2330260, member: 525950"] For some reason I’ve been high lately in the last week starting last weekend. Last week I was using about 14 Units of Lantus and now I’m currently using 18 units of Lantus which may be increased further. I’m not sure what’s causing the rapid 25-30% increase in my basal, any ideas? I do not feel ill, nothing has changed in my life - same amount of physical activity, diet is same, no extra stress or anything, sleep is around the same give or take an hour. I go to work and there are thermal imaging cameras so I don’t have a temperature as it would’ve been flagged and I also am not experiencing any coughs so it definitely can’t be the coronavirus I’m just so confused. There are a lot of random spikes like I sit down with a 6 and in 1-2 hours it becomes 9.5 but there isn’t a general pattern this just happens spontaneously. The only pattern I am seeing it no matter what my sleeping blood sugar is I always wake up on a 10 or maybe slightly more - I’m wondering whether I’ve increased my basal too much then? But surely if my basal was too much I would wake up on the lower end? I know a rebound will occur but if your insulin is too much it will dampen down the rebound right?? Example: slept on 5.8 last night and woke up on 10.6 Very very very mild nausea that comes and goes 2-3 times a day so I checked my ketones and it was a big fat 0.0 so I’m definitely not in DKA [/QUOTE]
