Hello all , I have emailed my nurse regarding this so hopefully she will get back to me Monday .
After his diagnosis beginning of March he had been doing really great but for the last week and a bit he keep having really high levels. Some even 16mmol .
I have adjusted his carb ratios on machine yet still having these crazy highs .
Over the last three months he has been having just 2 units of Lantus per night as he was having a lot of hypos prior .
That amount has been working great .
I’m wondering if maybe it’s the Lantus being so low now that he is having all these highs ?!
I was wondering if the weather cooling off could potentially make his levels higher or maybe he’s getting a cold but then it’s been going on over a week as I say .
He feels fine in himself also .
On his machine when he’s had these highs it says he has no active insulin.
Also it suggests bolus amount of insulin to give which I haven’t as I’ve never been told to by nurse.
I usually just make him some cold water n sit with him while he drinks a few glasses then test again in hour.
Unless it’s mealtime and he has insulin to correct it it usually stays high.
Maybe his honeymoon is over completely?!
So many things I’m wondering but the main thing is does anyone have any advice on this ? Have they had similar with their children ?!
Any advise would be fab . TIA xx
