[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 607400, member: 119069"] What a difference a week makes. This time I was in considerable pain with a real severe ear infection so was loaded up with anti biotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Despite eating near normal and taking my normal insulins my BG wouls not come down below 12. On Monday feeling back to normal, if a little deaf in one ear, I have stuck rigourously to my carbohyrate intake and insulin and BG are near perfect. Previously I would go to bed with a BG of 7 and by morning this would go up to around BG 10. Now BG before bed is 5.5 and by next morning its only 6.0. Even during day and evening it is around BG 6.5. Even had a couple of lowish BG of 3.5 Only adjustment I have made is to now take either 36 or 38 units of Lantus, depending on my evening BG My big concern now is I tend to go out walking a lot to fairly quiet places and on a couple of occasions BG at 6pm has been about 8.5 half an hour after my meal, however an hour later this has dropped to 3.5. Thank goodness for lucozade Slowly but surely starting to get there the ear infection I had was maybe much worse than I thought [/QUOTE]
