I did have the 2nd covid jab on 5th May, didn’t really notice an impact but maybe it’s knocked things just a bit out of whack. I’ll ask the nurse about maybe moving my basal to the evening, I was given a choice of morning or evening on diagnosis & at the time I just thought morning was easiest, plus I don’t like injecting after I’ve had a drink but I guess that evening dose could be 6 or 7pm. [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] I cut a lot of carbs straight away, I was about 50g a day but I’ve relaxed a bit to 80g & have the odd take away. Yesterday I had 55g, over injected by a couple of units & I still went up to 9 post meals, didn’t get lower than 7 & had a pretty active day.Ideally I need to stay below 9 otherwise I feel really tired & out of it. I’ve lost too many hours of work this past fortnight because I’m falling asleep after lunch, fortunately I WFH bad mostly control my own schedule. Plus I lost an entire day on Saturday when I was over 10 for 24hrs, just couldn’t stay awake. Anyway I’m just a bit exhausted with it all, it’s been a long 11 months with a lot more in front of me.</blockquote>
