The highs and lows
My blood glucose has been high for a few weeks. It is very steady when I do a fasting basal test but sitting between 8 and 9.5mmol/L (144 and 171mg/dl). Any help?
I have changed cannula/ insulin and am taking more than normal bolus insulin. Not feeling ill.
 
Assuming you are in the UK, it could be the heat.
It affects each of us in different ways: for some that means lower BG and for others it means higher.
 
The weather is causing me to run a little high in a similar way, so running a 120% basal is working for me.
 
Heat eh? Diabetes is such fun! I’ll try the temp basal Chas C. Thanks for the suggestion.
