Hi all
am having a strange couple of days last few days. My normal really well controlled levels have gone to pot.I woke up yesterday with a level of 7 and despite doing nothing different to any other day and probably taking a unit more of novorapid to compensate my levels have been runing high. After meal last night i tested 2 hours after meal and was 11.5 which never happens with me. I even took 2 more units of novorapid than i normally would. I have now just woken up and morning level is 8. this is normall between 6 and 6.5. What an earth is going on? i feel as i am starting to go out of control and is frustating. Should i now take more novorapid to compensate and try to get down to 5 ? or should i start to increase lantus which i dont really want to do as this seemed to have very littel effect before.

Cheers

You're not coming down with something are you?

I find my BG is all over the place when I have a cold or something on it's way.
 
That was what i was thinking but feeling fine .... am going on holiday friday so hope i am not going down with something
 
Hi Curleous.
Could your going on holiday be causing stress which may put up your BGs ? Maybe someone with more experience could help.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Good to see you are so 'on the ball' but sounds as though your control is great normally.

I am always within 4-7mmol whenever I check but have had the odd week where things have gone a bit belly up (similar to your experience of late).

I find that things just tend to go back to normal on their own. There does appear to be no reason for it sometimes but I guess sometimes your body can have all sorts of things going on that don't give you obvious symptoms like a cold etc, so just keep an eye on it and don't worry.

Thanks for the replies...still high again this morning and all day yesterday. I was again 7.7 on waking up this morning after being 6 at bedtime . I also increased lantus dose by 1 unit last night. Could it be honeymoon period over?. i would have thought this would be gradual and not just happen like that?

Cheers

It could be to do with the hot weather?

I would look at addjusting your basal, just by 1 or 2 units, to see if that helps
