Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed with type one diabetes, four months ago. At first, my glucose levels came down (usually between 16-19) with insulin. I was on 15 units of long-lasting insulin and roughly 1:10 units for carbs.
The last few months have been awful. My glucose levels have been between 15 - 24 in the last two weeks. I’m massively struggling to get them down and I feel so poorly. The nurses have upped me to 40 units of long lasting and a carb ratio of 1:5. I also give myself a correction of 10 units as my glucose is always very high at night. This still doesn’t seem to be helping. Here are yesterday’s results following all that and barely eating due to nausea.
I would appreciate any advice on what to do or say to my diabetes team as I feel like nothing is working.
Thanks so much
