Not been checking my levels lately, just felt lightheaded and tested, BG at 27 (am normally around 12) Took 15 units Apidra, waited 30 mins, tested again but gone up to 29. What should I do?

Ring ya diabetic nurse they will put u right
 
hi there -with blood sugars that high and the fact that apidra takes 15 minutes to begin working it is not actually surprising that you have seen a rise .

did you eat at the time you took the apidra or was it taken as a correction dose with no food ?

if it were me I would test at 2 hours and hope to see a move in the right direction .
if BG is lower then test a further 2 hours later and correct again if levels not below 10

if not lower at all after 2 hours a further correction dose.
 
BG went down to 25, had dinner but took 10 more units before dinner. One hour later BG at 25. Will check again in two hours (just before bed).
 
ok so bloods not dropping:(

next thought is -- are you coming down with a cold or are you suffering from any sort of infection that you know of ?

another thought -- have you started on a new medication at all recently.
