Illness

[briony1]

Hey everyone - I’m currently fighting off some sort of virus or infection - I have high fever (temp won’t go below 39), general malaise, headache etc. My sugars are all over the place, waking up in the night burning hot with a BM of 15-20. Is this normal? Trying my hardest to correct etc x

Illness often sends sugars high, so yes, need correction and watch for ketones. Measuring is important, as is keeping on injections - if you're trying to correct etc, you're on the right track.

You may also need to increase your basal for a while.
