May has not been a good month at all. Started on a pump on 13th and all was great...for a grand total of 3 days! Then I started hypo-ing really bad, terrible weekend at work, but managed to get back to normal throughout the week. Back to the weekend and hypos again, even with an 80% reduction in my insulin. Managed to get back to normal again for last Monday and Tuesday when I saw my consultant. He programmed in some additional basal rates... Then it all went wrong. Levels in high 20s, 30s and then flashing hi. Ended up in hospital with full blown DKA. Managed to get my levels down and go home where they very quickly spiked again! I've had 2 low carb days (under 40g) and have bolused for everything including adding some for the protein. I haven't been below 14 since this morning and am on 250% of my basal (usually 18.64 so now around 46.6?!!!) and still at 14.6. I've done all the usual- site change, prime, change of insulin etc so now don't know what to do! Saw my DSN this morning and she wasn't happy with the amount I'm taking, said it's too much even though I'm still high :/ tempted to just go back to MDI - any other suggestions/advice?
