[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 454153, member: 89494"] when I was on injections, I used to increase my background insulin by 30% and then increase my bolus insulin by 10% at a time. If I was staying high, Id increase it by 10% the following day.... when you have an infection, you will need more insulin. if you are high, you also need to drink as much water as possible to avoid getting dehydrated. If you are dehydrated, then insulin does not work..... [/QUOTE]
