Welcome back @firefly60

Sorry to hear you aren’t well at the moment. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Have you also been adjusting your other doses? Like basal and meal doses? It may be that your overall sensitivity to insulin has changed while your body is dealing with the infection, so you may need more insulin overall?

Have you ever been given Sick Day Rules to refer to during periods of illness? These from the Leicester Diabetes Centre might help?
