AARH!!

Did a spot check. 10.1!!!

Generally does anyone know how it takes for your numbers to get back to normal after a virus that has taken me over a month to get over it.

I came off the antibiotics New Years eve as had a nasty eye infection as result of the virus.

I have started back at the gym, so hopefully it will improve.

Unfortunately I suspect it's the same answer to the question 'how long is a piece of string', as there are so many variables at play :( I imagine that you will have been less active so this will have had an additional effect, but now that you are back at the gym hopefully things will quickly improve. Whenever I have been fairly inactive and my levels have crept up it usually takes around a week of dedication to the cause to get things back to former good numbers 🙂
 
7.8 for me, I feel something brewing, maybe the sniffles.. SPent the day yesterday hovering around the 9 - 10 mark for no apparent reason, corrections at least 3 or 4 through the day (About 6 extra units than what should be needed) went to bed on an unexplainable 12.5mmol witth a correction of 3 u (Would normallyonly give 2) in usual circumstances this would make me hypo in the night. Woke up at 7.8mmol/l. Feel a bit achey, a slight sniffle and a very slight sore throat... Does anyone else almost will a cold to come on just so it explains the numbers?

I keep having a spot check gulp to see if my throat hurts any more yet!!
