A Lurgy?

[MikeyBikey]

I mentioned this morning I felt like I had picked up a Lurgy yesterday. Well (touch wood) the perspiring and nausea had stopped although my stomach is not right. Despite a few extra small shots of Actrapid insulin my BG remains up - not badly so more irritatingly so...

Which basal do you take Mikey? In that scenario with Levemir I would just increase my daytime dose by a couple of units to drop that relatively flat line down into range a bit more.
I appreciate it is probably flat because you have been jabbing corrections but when mine insistently goes high and resists corrections I find a couple of basal units can counteract it far more efficiently than 7 or 8 units of correction/bolus insulin. I always find it quite odd how much more powerful my basal seems to be in such circumstances. If you are using a longer acting basal, then this may not be worthwhile, especially if you feel you are over the worst, and firefighting with bolus insulin might be simpler.
