I feel awful. Just had 10 units. Thirsty, really thirsty. Dont understand why so high as did the correct dose for my dinner time carbs. I feel awful! Just about to check for ketones...
 
What time did you eat?

Maybe worth changing your insulin cartridge in case there's a problem with it?

Hope it starts going in the right direction soon.

Yuck! Poor you. Try not to panic, retest in a bit and make sure your heading back down but make sure you dont over do it and bring on a hypo. (ive done that before with a scary high).

What did you have for dinner?

Aw Sam, have you re-tested? Hope you're not coming down with something, and that the correction settles you back to a decent level.

Drink a big glass of water - will help with the ketones if there are any and with needing the loo!
Hope you feel better soon. Crazy highs are exhausting :(

Hope you get sorted soon Sam, I just tested and in high teens, wondered why I was feeling weird!

Take care

hmmn. i would have thought with 10 units you should be on the way down at least a it. All i can think of is keep drinking and testing till you need to pee :(
