[QUOTE="Mad76, post: 2471249, member: 505154"] Hi all Hope someone out there can help Last few days my sugars have been stubbornly high. Mainly sitting in low teens. Really hard to get down. Did the usual. Increased bolus , changed pen etc. No joy Yesterday tested positive for covid so I assume the high sugars im experiencing are due to this. I've been lucky enough so far too not have had to use sick day rules. My understanding is I need to increase basal by 20percent Currently on 15 units of lantus so this needs to increase to 18 My question is do I just go straight to 18 units from 15. Or do I increase 1 unit a day. Normally i increase 1 unit. Wait a couple days. Then increase another. Not sure about it when sick. Any guidance would be great. Thanks [/QUOTE]
