Dear people,
4 weeks ago my husband was urgently admitted to hospital with an extremely rare MSSA infection called psoas muscle abcess which turned septic. he is still on IV and will be in hospital for at least 4 weeks more. Since he is in hospital my sugar levels hang between 12-14 mmol and even with strict testing and diet and extra insulin it wont go down. But it doesnt go above 14.
My consultant says its the stress and my days being a lot longer as i visit him in hospital after work so my evening meal has moved at least 1.5 hours later.
Did anyone here experienced something similar and how did they tackle it? Did you just sit it out with your normal regime or did you make huge changes to the insulin routine? My consultant says just keep a strict testing regime and adjust with topup between meals as he says my BG will improve parallel with my husband improving.
Love to hear from you
