Are you on Insulin?

Any infection of colds will cause a rise in your levels.
 
Illness will generally raise BG levels. Test frequently, stay hydrated, test for ketones, be prepared to increase insulin. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry doesn't show when on iPad

Have you been taught how to do correction dosages? Normally when your ill you need to raise your short acting insulin. levels above 13 you should check ketones and also drink lots of fluids.
 
I woke up after a nap yesterday at 14.8 and took a2 unit injection to try to bring them down.. I didnt eatt anything and my bloods went too 21.8 & then i got wrong of an on call doctor for taking novo rapid without food -__- i increased glargine a unit, and yeah think i might still have a chest infection after the anti biotics wernt great first time round so ive started again on a new course today hopefully these will help
