[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1803015, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=476475]@Ermintrude775[/USER] It really does depend on what your infection is, some will as Kitedoc say push your BG levels high as your body fights the infection, some people have reported an adverse response to antibiotics too suggesting that this has caused them to run higher, however it's unwise to stop taking your medication without consulting your GP first, you will need to review your correction ratios though, so if in doubt speak to your nurse about adjusting this to counter the high BG levels. Personally I find that once I am running at +12mmol/l that I need to increase my correction dose by 20% and the higher this goes the more I need to increase my ratio, with careful monitoring each hour to check. To be fair it's the same as kitedoc as my meter will tell me how well my body is coping with the infection as I can then see when my levels fall back into range that the worst is over and I then need to be careful about going low. Please also let me know if you wish to access your other account and I can get the team to look into this for you ? [/QUOTE]
