[QUOTE="lewis10694, post: 2359556, member: 500727"] First, the blood sugar running higher could be due to a virus, it's maybe better to wait and see if she starts to feel better before making changes and just try bolus to control things at the moment. If not, her insulin resistance may have changed and she may have started to require more insulin. Such as she may have needed 1 unit per 6 grams of carbs, this could have changed to 1 unit per 4 grams now. This happens to me all the time and there is a period of figuring out but then things will stable out once you have corrected your insulin need. Don't change the basal does, if she is stable overnight this isn't the issue. Blood on the libre is very normal, it pierces you with a needle there will often be some blood on the libre. Try find a very tissuey/fatty part of the back of the arm to aim for. I have had problems before where I have had a libre pierce in a funny position and it has been too close to a nerve and causing pain, weird sensations and discomfort. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
