Hi

I'm currently on holiday at the moment. In UK. No sudden change in temp. In theory should be more relaxed.

My numbers are usually really good and average around 5 or 6. Suddenly my numbers have jumped up and are around a low of 9.

My freestyle libre is showing I've gone from and average of 86% in target to 63% in 2 weeks. I'm still doing the same amount of exercise, apart from more tea and coffee, not a massive change in how I'm eating. I've increased both my lantus and humalog, but if I look at my results it looks like my body is Suddenly not registering humalog at all.

I've swapped pens, though not from a different batch as I only have a limited supply here and I've tried injecting my leg a few times instead of my stomach.

Does anyone have any ideas or have experienced this?

Hi there, could it be the 'stress' of the holiday? I know it's a fun thing but the body is sometimes a bit dim and cannot recognise good stress from bad! If I have a stressful day at work for example, up it goes. It does soon come down though so if yours has been high all week then sorry, I don't really know, other than this pesky diabetes doing its own thing.

Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
Hi @kellywelly Sadly I find holidays hard work on my diabetes as there's so many variables affecting control you have to be extra vigilant for a few days until you settle in, it literally could be anything, even a change in routine/sleep can shift levels, just try to enjoy yourself as it's great to get away :)
