For the past 2 weeks I've had a cold and Afew days ago went to the doctor with a throat infection.
In the mornings my sugars have been going up to 17 ish after breakfast. So each day I was giving 2 units to bring it back down and it came down fine. So I decided instead of waiting for it to go up I'll add the 2 units to the breakfast dose, but it still shot up high. The rest of the day still isn't quite normal but it's not goin as crazy as breakfast is. Is it normal for the illness to just affect this one time of the day more than any other??
Btw I've tested for keytones and 17 isn't amazingly high for me before people say get to hospital as I've just done a carb counting course and got it better controlled!
