Illness

[Padders91]

hi all just want some advice on what you guys do for treating illnesses, I have just got rid of a nasty chest infection, to a stomach upset, and my sugars have been in double figures for a week or two now, worst being 23, I am finding I have to do a hell of a lot of correction doses to bring the ****** down, I also remember on the Dafne course I did you have to increase QA by 10% don't know if that's still the case ?

I hope this will help, are you checking ketones and contacted a dr ?
Do you mean the 10-20% of TDD every 2-4hrs?
