Pain in groin and higher bloods.... don’t know what to do?

[Lauren8443]

I’ve got a pain in my groin and lower back and I’ve noticed my blood sugars aren’t reaponding the same as you usually do to the insulin and are hovering around the 12s and rising higher at night?!

I posted last week and did have a dud batch do insulin but they still seem high??

My health has never effected my blood sugars.... what do I do? Keep injecting the short acting to bring it down?? Change long!? I have no idea?

I couldn’t get hold of DN today

Please advise me ....many thanks

Are you following 'sick day rules' Lauren and drinking loads of water?

A word to the wise - in all my 46 years with T1, being ill has never affected my BG either - but there again I've never really been all that ill and I wasn't ill whatsoever last year when I broke my knee.

BUT BG in the high teens and 20s and blood ketones through the roof - got rid of the ketones within a week but the high BG stayed there for months and I had to have shedloads more insulin every single day - that was almost 6 months ago and I'm still not yet back where I started.

Hence I can say with absolute conviction that just because it's never happened before does NOT mean it never will, at the drop of a hat.

Get to your GP asap and find out what this pain is being caused by and get that sorted as well as contacting your clinic and saying if you can't get help now, then you'll have to go to A&E.
