Blood sugar levels over 33.3 after taking my injections and having only bacon, eggs, fried onions and mushrooms. I just can't win.

My rapid dose is similar, ie 26Hope you get some help soon. The amount of Novorapid you are injecting horrifies me. Good luck. Please let us know tomorrow how you are doing

bacon, eggs, fried onions and mushrooms.
How are you today @akindrat18 ?
I feel fine, had a good night's sleep. But my blood sugars beg to differ as I've just tested after having breakfast and it's 33.1. I've took all my medication and I'm ready for today.

@akindrat18 You really need to speak to a doctor or nurse urgently.
Blood sugars that high are dangerous and need attention.
Is there a reason why you didn't ot couldn't call 111 last night?
I know you're Type 2 not Type 1 but take a read of this thread. Blood sugar that high is very bad:

The lady above was admitted to hospital. You might not need that but you do need to speak to somebody. The fact you feel ok can be misleading - as the lady above found.
So does all your medication include a correction dose? You said your nurse has advised 1 unit to bring you down 3 mmol, if your at 30+ you should be aiming to get under 7 and that would mean a correction dose of 8 or 9 units.
Only my Novorapid is used for correction dose. I also take Tresiba 30 units and Victoza 1.2 mg at night. I should be taking SR Metformin 500mg two twice a day, but can't handle taking tablets.
Oh dude, it must be so tough for you. I'm really sorry to hear how difficult it is for you at the moment. Take heart, so much support here. I only started Carb counting 8 yrs ago and only Low carb/high fat this year. The unbelievable difference it's made!! Should be made a law for ANY diabetic to be educated on these 2 things. Now I can actually get up in the mornings with some semblance of feeling normal. Unless I don't get coffee, heh hehBlood sugar levels over 33.3 after taking my injections and having only bacon, eggs, fried onions and mushrooms. I just can't win.
@akindrat18 Are you definitely seeing the DSN today - that is, do you have an appointment for today?
Yes, novorapid is used for a correction dose. Have you taken a correction dose? The above doesn't answer my question which is:- when you say you've taken all your medication, does that include the correction dose your nurse advised of 1 unit to bring you down 3mmol/l?
Akindrat has tried LCHF before after some of us suggested it. He doesn't like it, and his HCPs tell him it isn't a good idea. So carb counting to get his insulin dosage right seems to be the best option for him.Oh dude, it must be so tough for you. I'm really sorry to hear how difficult it is for you at the moment.

Yes it does. I've took an extra 15 units of Novorapid.
