Hi everyone,
I’m a fairly new type 1 (about 5 years) diabetic. I have always been on a low dose of levermir and a 1:1 ratio for novo rapid.
I don’t have great control but when I’m doing it right and following the rules I’m ok.
I had a nasty virus in January and since then my numbers are all over the place.
I’ve almost doubled my background insulin and having to correct at meals and just keep trending high.
Is this a known thing. Can viruses worsen your diabetes/insulin once you’ve recovered? It’s so strange.
