Doctors telling me that I probably know more than them
Ooof, been doing ok and keeping carbs down to about 20g per day. Insulin down to split dose of lantus 8am 4pm and 2 units of novorapid as need during day. Bloods been good, around 6, flat line.
Today nothing different and bloods at about 10-12 and injecting 1 unit of novorapid every couple of hours, bloods staying the same!
Don't want to wack a load of insulin in but what is going on?
Have had 10 carbs so far today.
 
Stress and constipation will put mine up.....

Well, not suffering from either of these at the moment. Weird. Just worried the insulin will catch up and hypo will occur.
 
Could you be starting an infection of some kind?

Having been T1 for 50 years, has this sort of thing ever happened to you before?

Yes do have odd days like this for no obvious reason. All good this morning and back to 6.2 on waking up so panic over. But it annoys me as I am putting in insulin for no gain.
