[USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] do you still have the list that you previously posted? When it's warm, I need less insulin for example, and hormones used to create havoc when I was younger with how much insulin I needed, as it constantly changed. Usually vaccinations raise my blood sugar, but I've had a couple where within 5 minutes my levels dropped liked a stone initially and after a day or so rose as normal. Do you have a glucagon injection kit at home? You could maybe discuss with her diabetes team slightly raising her lower target level for a while, or 'easing up' on time in range targets, so there's less risk of a severe low, to help her regain her confidence.</blockquote>
