So, I had a cold around 4 weeks ago, but not covid. Since then I my control has dropped from being in target 80% (yes, I am a control freak) to between 20-60% of the time. I'm not sure of my residual pancreatic function has finally given up, whether my insulin resistance (exaggerated by a certain medication I have to be on) has got worse, whether my injection technique is rubbish (should you see some leakage after jnjecting) or is there more hidden sugars in what I'm drinking (more so alcohol, as my soft drinks are all sugar free). I'm worried about increasing my insulin (currently toujeo 40, Novorapid 6-8 with meals), as I'm going to bed high (I'm a late night snacker but take insulin with it) and throw in a correction dose just for good measure. Woke up 9, went to bed 15.9.
