Hello fellow diabetics!
What do you do when having hyperglychemias that won’t go down? And what do you find are the usual causes to this? I’ve had T1D for about 8 years (I’m 17), and I’ve never had this experience before:
What happened:
Yesterday:
Woke up early, ate a little cake as breakfast (first and last time doing that) and all of a sudden sky high. Did a little strength training and ate a better breakfast (scrambled eggs). Went out on a walk, blood sugar came back down hours later but it reacted in a hypo that I treated. I had to walk home (12 000 steps in total now) but after eating lunch I was up in 20 mmol/l. I put on new insulin infusion set and sensor and took insulin through my pen/syringe which led to almost no reaction. Ate dinner and injected insulin by pen again. High bloodsugars continuing after this. Ketones (thankfully) only at 0,1.
Fast forward to the night:
Around 1 o’clock all the insulin and movement caught up and a major drop and hypo occurred, I woke up 50 minutes into the hypo by myself and was in survival mode, eat a sandwich, cookie, some chocolates and some dextrose while drinking ~1 dl juice. Took insulin right after the hypo was over (spoiler alert, that didn’t work). I had to change my infusion set AGAIN while taking insulin through pen AGAIN. Hypo after ~3 hours and some normal blood sugars after that.
This morning:
Woke up, strength trained (about a 15 min work out), ate and took insulin. Now I’m back at 17 mmol/l.
Reasons I’ve found:
- yesterday I started the day with cake, stupid decision
- I’ve not been 100% good with my insulin injections, injecting them minutes AFTER eating, not before as I should
- insulin being old/bad (even though newly retrieved from the drugstore)
- infusion sets not working
- carb ratio (hope it’s the right word) not being set to me waking up this early in the morning, and all the late times we’ve been eating (routines have not been held up this summer)
- strength training making my blood sugars go up (I don’t know if this is a thing, but this is what’s really new)
- hormones…?
Please bless me with you knowledge and tell me what you think. I’m really confused and would like some outside thoughts on this.
Thank you x-x
(I’m going out on ANOTHER walk now, bye)
PS: if anyone knows of former threads regarding this matter, please write where to find them. I also hope I put this thread in the right “folder”.
