High Glucose Level

[CSmith79]

Good evening,

I have just tested my levels after a day of being really thirsty, extremely tired etc....

My meter read : Warning. HIGH Glucose Level above 33.3 mmol.

My question is how do I sensibly bring this back down???

Clearly and i'm not going to lie, I have been neglectful of my injections etc the last few days, mainly due to working 15 hours a day, 6 days a week.

I have never been this high before.

Thanks in advance for any help.

@CSmith79 can you give details of your normal regime, I assume you are MDI. Is it just the bolus insulin you have been missing?

As Mahola says you need to do a correction dose. Test every two hours and wait four hours before your next correction dose.

1 --- test for ketones
2 -- if it were me on a 33 - I would inject a lot of fast acting ( for me 1u per 2mmol drop )
3 -- if you stay above 20 overnight -- contact 111 for advice
4 -- use your sick day rules to get back into single figures

@CSmith79- Are you okay? Did you get your blood glucose down? Are you in the hospital?
