[QUOTE="Robaloo, post: 2670353, member: 584070"] Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a year and a half ago, am 22 female living in Kenya. I recently got a bad tummy bug which turned into a gut infection about 3 weeks ago. I am completely better now and have not been on any other medications for at least 3 weeks. I have noticed I need to almost double my insulin dose at meals since I got sick. Same food, environment etc. however I went to a friends for a week and suddenly was having hypos so went back to my original dose, then came home and boom! Back on double doses. I am eating low carb, my doses are usually between 2-3 units of Humalog, before illness between 1-2. Has anyone delt with sudden blood sugar changes after illness? How long do they last? Do they ever go back to normal? Thanks [/QUOTE]
