I’ve checked my blood sugars before dinner time and they’re 29. I then done my insulin with added correction to bring it down and it’s now 31 anyone got any ideas on how to help? I had a chicken salad for dinner and I’m drinking water to help any other help??

Gosh - Have you tested for ketones, Kaate?

I wonder if @Diakat , @donnellysdogs or @Jaylee are around?

If your numbers are still high, a word with 111, at least, could make sense. If you have high letones, then A&E should be considered.
 
Did you take your normal correction?
When my BG is high (over 14), I become insulin resistant so need twice as much to correct.
I do lots of tests after that in case I have over done it and have hypo treatment on hand.
 
Hi @Kaate .

Owch.

I'm not sure exactly when you ate dinner. & with your numbers being that high. If that was i, probably wouldn't see an improvement in figures for at least 4 hours??

Was there potato or pasta in the chicken salad..? This may have hindered progression too?
