Testing reveals I am really hyper! Help!

have you eaten something different to normal, have you changed your routine, are you stressed or anxious, are you poorly (infection, virus) any of these things and i guess more can have a bearing on your bs, my bs are always high i am on new insulin and they have to be brought down very slowly,but i have been tols by the dn that any of the above can trigger them and the more you worry about it the higher they can go, when you took your quick acting how long ago was it, have you tested for ketones? you can titrate just small amounts every few hours to get these down as long as you keep testing and are aware of what you are doing, but it could also send them the other way if you take too much, insulin lasts about 4hrs on average unless its the 24hr one, so dont take anymore until at least that amount of time has gone past hope this helps

Check temperature of fridge.. Check that your pens are working correctly.
Change the vials and needles.

Guess you would have done this anyway.

hay and good day, hope you are feeling much better today, and i am glad your bs have come down, diabetes is a strange thing isnt it, just be careful of the amount you drink as this can also be dangerous, try and speak to your dn if you can on monday x

Unexpected 'go high and stay high' has happened to me many times over my 40 years as Type 1. Here are a couple of the more 'unusual reasons' I have found.

1. My Insulin vial had a crack in the glass so when depressing the injector to squeeze the Insulin in, it was actually leaking mainly from the glass and into the inside of the pen. Then I guess it evaporated before I took my next shot. I was alerted to this by the strong stink of Insulin which eventually built up on the pen. I suspect it might have happened if I dropped the pen or cartridge onto a hard surface at some time.

2. I often leave my pen on my desk whilst I work. After such an 'unexpected episode' I picked up the pen and it was HOT ! I had bought a new Laptop and the new one had its exhaust fan blowing directly on to the place where I leave my pen! The Insulin had been cooking and rendered ineffective.

3. Not unusual, I suspect is my normal cause of this and that is not taking the Insulin. For a meal, I work out my carbs, do a test, look at my trend, calculate just what I need and then simply forget to stick it in! After the first 10,000 injections it becomes a bit 'automatic.' Thankfully, modern Insulin pens have readouts of how much you had and when - a godend!
