Good morning 14.3 and going up with .7 ketones. According to the Libre the BG started rapidly risin at 5am. I'm hoping it is a cannula/pump problem and nothing else.

Thanks Vince and Kaylz. BG and ketones are continuing to go up despite a load of bolus one hour ten minutes ago. beginning to panic now,

Thanks @wirralass
That is my strategy actually just hope I can maintain it. I don't think they are to bad considering I am off the meds now. I do keep forgettig that small fact lol
When I see slightly elevated levels I have to remind myself "VInce no on Metformin now". Old age.🙄
I want off the Diabetic Register, something I didnt know I was on until 3 months after my diagnosis, but I was told that takes 5 years diabetic or not.
Next review in June when I get back so lets see. I fully expect my HbA1c to rise a little but stay under the 47 or whatever it is threshold.

My DSN doesn't want to see me again as long as I stay under 48, so obviously she is not worried about the pre-diabetic range. Just hope I can still get my HbA1c fiqure when I have my next blood test as I may not be seeing a doctor.
 
Well despite high bolus, pen corrections etc it had gone up to 17.4 by 8.30 with 1.1 ketones. Hoping that the corrections start to kick in soon. I've done cannula changes, full infusion set change and a pen bolus!!!

Hope it starts coming down soon! I’m sure you’ve thought of it but could it be a dodgy vial of insulin?

Thank you everyone. I just need to sit and wait and keep shovelling in the insulin. Thanks Grainger about the insulin vial suggestion but it isn't that.
 
I had a long lie in with the Sunday papers this morning, apart from shovelling in some Novorapid at 9am, just wonder how high I'd have gone if I hadn't. ( I was 7.1 at 10pm when I went to bed, the chart doesn't show the whoosh downwards towards 3am)!

Looks a bit like mine, Robin, but as I’m fiddling with my bedtime Levemir dose I ended up with 7.2. Oh well, back to the drawing board. When I move, I’m fairly confident I’ll get a pump. I know all the right things to say😎

My Surgery Nurse went for the cheaper option, suggesting a protein snack before bed....Doesn't cost the NHS anything, I pay for my own cheese. Doesn't work either, mind you...
