I did my bloods 2 hours after tea as I felt faint, I was 16.0

Took the corrective as suggested by my meter.

Tested 90 mins later & I've dropped 1mmol

Ok I'm ill but come on bloods gimme a break !!!
 
Well, I suppose you might have gone much higher, but it's not much consolation :( I always seem to underestimate how much I need when ill, it just seems like ridiculous amounts! Hope you are feeling better and levels settle down soon 🙂
 
That's rubbish, but on a positive you shouldn't have a night-time hypo 😉 On a serious note though I hope you feel better soon and it comes down before bed... have you checked ketones?

When I tested at tea, I was 8.7 & took the amount to cover me for what I ate.

I'm looking at my diary since I started feeling this way & I'm worried about my bloods as my levels are never this bad

Me too, I've got the week off & have done nothing I'd planned

Grrrr don't get me started on ketones. The docs took the sticks off my repeat but even tho I rang begging for them, I'm not allowed them til I go through my medication tomorrow with the nurse.
I've got some which are just over 6 months opened (last used back end of sept) but nothing showing.
 
had rubbish day too been bouncing between 2's and 20, not common for me, normally much steadier!

Hope you get the break soon and get Tom in order!

Very true, my bloods were ok yesterday & I don't have my headache & eye pain anymore so thought I was on the mend.

Here's to tomorrow!

If I was at work feeling like this, I'd of ripped someone head off & then had some insulin 🙂
