Having had a cold for the past few weeks, my readings have been a bit erratic, but now I'm on the mend my morning readings still seem way too high for my liking. I increased my bi by 2u to cover the sickday rules, then after I got better, (only a few days ago) I went back to where I was previously. My waking bs are still about 11 - 12. should I increase again or wait it out to see if things get back to normal?

I hear you... Pre-illness I was on something like 0:5:1, 0.5:1, 1:1 and split dose 15/13... now after a long time of being ill on and off my ratios are similar but my BI doses are now 16/16.

Good grief illness sure makes things bloody confusing. Definitely check for hypos in the night to add to novo's comment - I found I had been hypo'ing in the night in response to getting 14-16s in the morning after putting it up a few times - hit 18/22 at one point!

Stay safe and hope it all stabilises again soon!
