My sugars are high in the mornings between 4.9 and 7.2 but this week have been consistently 7 to7.6 mm/ol
Lunchtime I am usually 5.5 to 6.5 but again have been 7.2. After a very stresful event at work they shot to 8 over 2 hours after eating, they did go back down but only to 7.2.
Pre evening meal they are still low but later seem to rise higher and take longer to go down before bed (7.4 ish recently when they are usually 5.9 or so) I have been eating later however.
My insulin is novo rapid 2 daytime shots of 6 and one of 10 in the evening and 30 of lantus before bed.
Last week I was on the cornish coast path for a week. When I have hiked at week-ends on the peak and penines I often miss the day doses of insulin but keep the evening and night ones.This has only been for a couple of days at a time, this time it was six days of quite strenouos walking.
This time even when I missed the day ones I was still getting hypos of 3.6 to 3.9 and 2.9 at one stage. Later in the week (About Thursday) I stopped the evening dose and had no Lantus Friday or Saturday, blood sugar readings still normal. On Sunday I had an 8 hour train ride so went back to normal insulin dosage and have done so since yet my blood sugar readings though normal are getting higher and taking longer to reduce after a meal.
Could me messing with my insulin to avoid dangerous hypos in rough country have had an effect? If so any advice on how to correct this as I have in the past year kept my averages on pinprick testing very low. Any explanation and possible solution would help. By the way the week was chilled out but work issues hit me straight away on returning.
