I am having high blood sugars this week- very weird because I was getting some lows last week but they are consistently 250+ this week after meals. When I correct it works fine, but I’m wondering if I should automatically add a unit or two this week to my meals. I started getting the sniffles and think I may be getting allergies or a cold, but don’t know if it will go away or stay. Any thoughts?
Wellif you are getting sick, that will definately throw your bgs out of whack. That’s something that I really don’t appreciate about this diabetes thing. Its bad enough trying to get better, but then having to worry about bgs going crazy too :-/
If it were me I would probably add a couple units when I ate while I was sick.
If you are sick, remember to drink lots of fluids! =]
Thanks! I tried this tonight (well, I added 1) and it still didn’t work! Tomorrow I will try to add 2 I think but I’m doing some workouts so it might not work. I usually get low when I work out so maybe just see if it stays normal without changing anything (have been lowering my Lantus when I work out to stabilize my blood sugars).
