So I got diagnosed with Flu Virus A. I was prescribed Tamiflu for 5 days. My blood sugar is 190. How can I lower my blood sugar when using mdi. I know pump users increase there basal. Should I do the same and increase my daily tresiba injection? Just wondering how to get through this without having my blood sugar too high.
If I am running high I give more of my fast acting insulin to bring it down. If I keep having high glucose readings, then I up my Tresiba by 1 unit.
So sorry that you have the flu.

Thank you for the response. Do you guys normally get flu shots every year?
Yes. Its recommended.

I think Marilyn’s advice is good.
Yes, I’ve been getting an annual flu vaccination for years. It’s no guarantee that you’re 100% protected since the vaccine formulation may not be matched well to the eventual virus that predominates. It’s insurance.
