Waking up with very high blood sugar for the past 2 days

[Quinapril]

Hello people.

I have no idea what is going on but I feel so hopeless at this point.
For the past few days I wake up with bg of 14 - 15 mmol and I have no idea why.

I have not really changed anything..
What could be causing something like this?

Are you unwell?
Are you stressed?
Have you done less exercise than normal?

What type of diabetes do you have and how do you treat it?

I was sick. But I am recovering and almost over the illness just a bit of cough remains at this point.
However, I am still taking antibiotics and not sure if this could be messing with my blood glucose.

I am not sure if I am stressed or not. Generally, I am always under a bit of stress but wouldn't say that its more than usual.

I do get way less exercise than normal. I go on a walk everyday. However, since I have been sick I haven't been walking for over a week now and haven't done any exercise really. I mostly just sit at my computer. Could this be the cause?

I have T1 and I use both basal and bolus insulin

I have T1 and I use both basal and bolus insulin

It's pretty common for T1s to need more insulin when ill, Do you have access to sick day rules to help you adjust your doses as necessary?

Hello @Quinapril

That sounds very tough. I'm not a type 1 so not able to help much but I see that @EllieM has posted with some advice.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Good luck.
