[QUOTE="kev-w, post: 2244701, member: 452484"] Hi, I'd 'imagine' the headaches and body aches are to do with the high blood sugars, as opposed to the high bloods being a result of illness (but under the current circumstances this comes with the usual caveats). You mention 'normal' levels of 12/13mmol which to me is twice as high as what I'm aiming at and I'd feel drained with a blood of 12mmol all day, that's not a criticism by the way but perhaps something to think about. The 'problem' you face at the moment (other than the usual '***' is this) is what's called the honeymoon period where your pancreas can release more insulin again as it's load has been lightened by what you're injecting, this 'appears' to vary person to person in its effect and 'severity', if your bloods are staying high it would be appropriate to increase your 'basal' insulin by a couple of units (depending on which type you're using) and see if you drop levels, if I'm ill or just trending high I'll inject fast acting to correct, for me a unit as a correction will lower me by 2-3mmol over 90 minutes but again this differs from person to person and which insulins/foods and timings you're doing. Good luck with it :) [/QUOTE]
