Hi,

does anyone else have high bloods at that time of the month? I started my period today and i woke up at 15.0 and have tried to correct it all day long but still, i am 26.7 right now! even though i haven’t eaten anything at all (nauseous etc). I have changed my omnipod and used fresh insulin, corrected and put a temporary basal in +50% but it’s still rising at a fast rate. i can only assume this is my period. i’m not sure what to do now as it’s nearly 6pm and no luck!

Thank you.

Hi @laureljames1997 , and welcome to the forum!
Aside from your period, can you test for ketones?
when your blood glucose is that high and you feel nauseous as well you should call your team or 111 for advice, or go to A&E to get checked for DKA if you can't check ketones at home.

Wish you all the best, please don't take chances if you might be in DKA!
 
Yes but for me its week 4 (where week 1 starts the first day of your period).
Try to diarise and have a basal rate ready to go to cover what is extra insulin resistance caused by hormones.
I would not panic about the spike to 15.4 (won't make you feel great but won't make you go blind/lose toes).
