Hi. I am Type 1 and have Covid. I am on Basal Bolus. This morning, I went to A & E, because my B S was 20 (I am normally 7 - 8 and controlled).
My Ketons were at a safe level. I was put on a saline drip.
I was told to increase my insulin, so.before my.dinner, I increased by '4 units'. (150gm Quorn Mince, 3 carbs, 1 unit insulin. 1 Jacket potato 52 carbs, 5 units insulin. Plus 4 units insulin, as instructed. Total 10 units.
I have just read as 19 . Really scared and health care team are so.hard to get hold of.
