Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help- I probably need to chat to diabetes nurse but it’s the weekend of course!
I went really high yesterday suddenly at lunch time - took my usual 5 units for 65g lunch which normally gives me a rise after three hours but it shot up immediately and climbed to 18. Took a couple of corrections to get to 12 after an hour and a half then it went down gradually. Checked pen and changed cartridge then had my ‘safe dinner’ that doesn’t typically give any rise but spiked up to 12 and stayed at almost ten all through the night.
Does this seem like a basal issue? I’m on Tresiba and have myself an extra unit (normally 7, today 8) which will probably take a couple of days to kick in.
I really don’t know how to eat today and I’m a bit anxious after yesterday
