Help can not get my blood sugar down tonight blood sugar of 36.7 @ 00.00 now @ 05.30 is 35.2
Fell like been hit by a bus.
 
Call 111 or your DSN.
Have you checked ketones?
 
Yes, that's way too high. I suspect 111 will tell you call an ambulance. Good luck.
 
Hope they sort you out soon.

So glad you got there safely. They'll sort you out, hopefully you'll be feeling much better very soon.
 
At least it is heading down. Hope you are feeling a bit better.

So even with an intravenous drip you still aren't going down.....

I don't understand that......I though once it was in the vein you were down quick...
 
Sending all the hugs, hope you get sorted soon. I’ve had a couple of week long stints in the ICU with DKA, you’re in the best and safest place.
 
I hope they’ve reassess your treatment by now and bloods are descending.
Don’t hesitate to be politely demanding!
