[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 2178951, member: 429571"] Sounds like you need to increase your basal (background insulin) to lower those highs :) talk to your consultant or GP about it. I'm on Tresiba too and it works for me, but everyone is different. If you are sick due to high blood sugar then you need to do a permanent increase, not just on sick days. You can't really predict these. When you're ill your bloods will vary a lot. Maybe try going on something like Levemir, which is a twice daily basal. I'm not an expert on it as never used it myself but if you're regularly ill then i think the 2 doses can be varied according to your patterns. For you, you'd do more at night than during the day. If i'm wrong can someone please correct :) Hope this helps! And hope you're feeling better soon :) [/QUOTE]
