Hi everyone,
I am a fairly new diabetic going on 7-8 months now and have managed to control my blood sugars quite well with a HBa1c of 46 my last blood test 2 weeks ago.
However the past 3-4 days my blood sugars have been really hard to manage and is starting to rise and I've doubled my insulin from 6 units of Lantus to 12 in the past week and still my blood glucose rises being consistently in 10mmol+ range throughout the whole day. My bolus (Apidra) insulin used to be 1 unit every 15 grams of carbs, and I've now tried it 1 unit every 10 grams and my blood glucose is still rising. Very strange as I am very controlled with my blood sugar.
Could this be the ending of what my diabetic team call the honeymoon phase, if anybody can help or give any advice it would be very useful.
Thanks for reading,
