Hi everyone,
Have had a search on the forum but can't seem to find a specific question / answer to my little dilemma. I've just had a new Mirena coil fitted (have had two previously but last one run out over a year ago....ooops) and have seemed to have had a increase in my insulin needs since then, not a huge amount but a good few units over the day, am not overly worried and just wanted to reassure myself that it was probably the hormone doing that (am def not ill either). Has anyone else had these slight niggles with the Mirena. Am going to post this in the pumper section as well ......I've had to increase my basal rate from 15.6u up to 17.4 units but still a tad high and was unsure as to whether I need to look at my bolus ratios as well.
Has anyone else experienced these problems at all?
many thanks in advance
Dani
