I have had an awful few days, which is particularly concerning since I am playing a Korfball match on Sunday and it needs to be in good shape going into that.
My high glucose alarm went off at about 1am and the reading was 13.7, and I have three units. When I woke up at 6:30 it was 9.9 and I gave one unit and did my basal as well.
I had breakfast at Caffe Nero and calculated my meal to be 11CPs. My reading was 12.0 and I had given 13 units 20 minutes before in preparation: that's a 1:1 ratio with two units of correction.
It went up to about 14 but then started trending down so I thought thing would get back into single figures. Once it got to 11.3, it stopped going down and is now going back up. Now it's 13.0. How is this possible? I haven't eaten or drank anything else and I had a 10-minute walk from Caffe Nero to work, so that should have helped a tiny bit.
I had a banana beforehand and had a tomato and mozzarella panini and a large mocha. I know people could look at this and say I was asking for trouble but I've had this kind of thing before and there's just been a little spike, then it's gone down to being good again.

Grandmother and sucking eggs comes to mind, but it might be that your immune system is defending against a virus/bug etc. I used to get this kind of thing a lot when working in a school, usually without the privilege of showing the symptoms!!
Agree with those that your body might be fighting a virus/bug of some kind. Especially if the correction has no/minimal effect.
Cheesy/fatty meals has same effect on me - can go from in range for hours after meal to mountain climbs and frustrating libre alarms in the middle of the night.
