Sorry to see this Amanda, hope they come down and settle again soon, maybe just the stress of everything going on at the moment xx
 
Thanks Kaylz. You could be right although my levels rarely react to stress.xxx

possibly just with it being so prolonged, here anytime so gimme a message if you ever want a chat or whatever xx
 
I hope things settle for you Amanda. I am having a similar struggle with mine. I don't know if the UTI is fully clear, it seems to have gone but like you I am struggling with very high BG levels. I am very aware of my anxiety and deep misery at the moment though so I am inclined to blame that. Anyway, enough of me, hope you can have a reasonable night.xx

Thank you very much Kaylz and Karen xx
Karen I’m sorry that you’re also struggling a lot.
No ketones this morning - hooray!

Really glad to hear it. What a relief. I have increased my tresiba and am using the illness setting for the bolus doses until I can establish whether the basal change helps.
 
Karen I hope that the changes you made help you.
Yesterday I was trying frequently to stop hypos happening, then it started going up in the evening which I corrected for but then at 2am it was 18!
 
You’re really on a rollercoaster.

How are you feeling with the throat etc?
 
@Thebearcametoo thank you for asking. Sore throat disappears and then keeps coming back. Apart from that and feeling more exhausted than I usually do I’m ok. Mentally I’m in a good place, just these stupid BG levels, hopefully they will settle down soon.

Glad you are bearing up Amanda, and good to hear that you were ketone-free yesterday morning 🙂
 
Thank you Mike. Levels are still all over the place but hopefully they will sort out soon.
