High Blood Sugars

[Addypants]

Hi all I’m new to this site, I’m after some advice please. Since I have been in lockdown my blood sugars seem to have gradually crept up and up, they are now averaging between 10mmol and 20mmol, this in turn means I have to compensate with more nova rapid, currently 1.5 unit per 10gm of carbs. I’ve got an appointment with docs next week as can’t get hold of diabetic clinic.

Any help or advice would be greatly received I’m checking my ketones as well they are 0.2, and still getting stomach ache on a night. Thankyou in advance.

I don’t have advice as such. But I feel your pain. I’m in the same boat. It’s absolutely awful isn’t it. Doctors told me to keep hydrated and check levels every hour. If they rise above 20 and stayed there or crept higher to go to hospital. I’ve just started checking for ketones too now. I’m relatively new to this, I hope your okay and you get well very soon. Hugs

Failing that ring 111 and ask their advice. I’ve been advised by several ppl on jere to do that.

Thankyou I’ve been T1D since a young age and always struggled with my sugars, it’s just lately they’ve started spiralling.
