Hi, I injured my ankle jogging in Spain last week ( Weds) and the pain has been steadily increasing. Yesterday my after usual breakfast my BG was 11.5 ( it's usually under 8) and after a correction dose ( 1 unit of novarapid) it came down to 8,4 & stayed around 8.0 until after dinner i the evening when it rose to 11.0 again. I did another correction dose before bed which brought me down to 8,6 & set my alarm for 3.am when my BG was 12.3 so took another 1 unit which brought down to 8.3 within an hour. This morning it was 9.3 before breakfast so I took 2 units of Nova rapid for a low carb breakfast that would normally need about 0.5 units and came down to 7.5 but within two hours rose to 10.5. I've been to A&E & told there's no broken bones, to take paracetemol , rest ice and elevate. I'm assuming the pain/ inflammation is what's raising my blood sugar? I'm usually between 5.0 and 8.0 ( and if I go above 8.0 a quick run brings me back down to 6 ) so I'm finding the high numbers alarming.The nurse wasn't interested in my blood sugar and didn't seem to understand that anything other than food would affect it. The only other thing I can think of is that I started a new Lantus pen on Thursday (took it in my Frio bag & transferred to a fridge on arrival) and wonder if there's something wrong with it? I currently take 9 units of Lantus ( basal) at 07.30 and bolus with food ( Novarapid 1 unit to 8 grams of carbs - most meals need just 2 units as I low carb).
