Hi guys
Had above normal sugars for a couple of days now (normally 5-6 but have been around 9-11) it's almost as tho the insulin isn't responding even when I do correction doses? Diets been pretty good, in ketosis etc. Any ideas? Ta

Have you tried changing your insulin cartridges?

A cold or other infection or less exercise than usual might make a difference?

As @lizdeluz says it could be the start of a cold or infection, if not then start with the basics and do some basal testing, once you know that's right you can then look at your bolus doses.

Yep I reckon ya right. Exercise has dropped off slightly due to work but I have been compensating for that. My morning bs have been high for the last few days so looks like I need to check bs through the night! Oh joy
