Hi guys been doing real well with my diabetes lately only to fall I'll with a nasty cough that won't shift,
I'm self treating but my bloods have not been under 15 in 24h.
When your sick are you supposed to increase basel insulin by 10 /20% as well as bolus.
do you have keto strips and are checking for ketones?
it's normally just bolus, if you have an illness that's going to hang around for a while, they say you can also bump up your basal a bit as well, check with your nurse

Just wanted to say thank you. The link for the flow chart was so useful.
I followed it for over 2days and although my readings where still a little on the high side it help bring the under 10 and woke thus morning with a 7.2 that's the quickest I've ever got back in control after an spell of I'll health.
I don't know why we are not give this info when Diagnosed instead of a little leaflet.
Thanks again.
