So at a visit to a and e today a doctor told me to come in if my blood sugers got out of control what would you count as out of control. I did need to add s correction with diner and last time I checked a about an hour agoof about 11.2 which yeah are quite high but wouldn't call out of control yet but just wondering at which numbers should I start seeing as out of control.
 
Hiya @rayray119 - at the moment, my correction factor is 4 and my target BG is 7, so I have a correction dose if I’m over 11. Your question has made me realise that I don’t like to think in terms of being “out of control” o_O - I’m a reformed control freak, so I’m more comfortable saying to myself “oh no, my BG is high”.🙂
 
Yes it was just she said "if you blood sugers get out controll come back in" just thinking when at what number should I do what she said. Just checked for keystones as well(because six day rules and all that) 0.4 which is still known to be safe but when weather I check usally because of illnes or an expected highs I'm usally around 0.1 0r 2
 
My correction with tea didn't seem to work verry well as well as I was still 11.1 when I just checked. Hopefully that extra unit will sort it out.

I guess you could ring your endo or DSN (the ‘she’ that you mentioned) and ask her what she means. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
