Hope someone can advise on this please.
Found myself very unwell with sickness and upset stomach over 48 hour period, my predicament was being sick with my levels dropping. Horrible having to force myself to eat in-between bouts of sickness. My level of 3 was difficult to maintain even with orange juice, jelly sweets and cereal bars. What should I take when this happens. I've been using Toujeo as background insulin since June and find this holds my levels down which is good when Im not ill but when I want them to be higher than 3 particularly when ill find it very difficult to get level to move.. Had already done daily injection of 23 units before sickness took over. Left message for DSN but no reply I wanted to know if should reduce background insulin and by how much?
Still not out of the woods yet but never want to be in that situation again.
Has any one else found themselves in this situation and what did you do?
Thanks
Tracie
