Hi there,
My partner is type 1 diabetic, using insulin injections.
We are currently in Greece and his insulin seems to have stopped working correctly, possibly due to a deterioration of the molecules with the heat. Unfortunately the insulin that he is using is not available here.
My partner has experienced very high levels in the past few days (~25-30), and although he is managing to get them lower than 15 for short periods of time by injecting more and more, he is now experiencing symptoms of ketones.
We have no way to access his medication until our flight in 48h but we are worried about further complications if we do not manage to get his sugar levels down.
Has anyone got any recommendations: what to eat, drink, whether to exercise, whether to go to the hospital?
Many thanks,
Vincent
