[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1791457, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=412152]@LeanneSpain.[/USER] I must have had fast acting insulin hundreds of times to counter high sugar readings. Any reading over 24 mmol/L I would double my normal dose,but as [USER=47983]@therower[/USER] says, it's personally suited from many years of observing cause and effect. I would often get very high readings when fending off viruses and so on. Anything that causes high adrenaline can cause the same problem. If you hadn't done that, you would probably be "blocking" another hospital bed unnecessarily. The main problem is the number of tests required before reaching a level where eating is possible. Also, as I guess you realise, sugar readings can suddenly plummet after a long string of 16 ish readings or similar.
