Hi, I completed the Daphne course a month ago and things seemed to have going fine until this weekend. My BG's have shot up with no explanation. I don't feel unwell but am really not happy with the results. My corrections don't seem to be doing anything. What do I do now?

Hi,

I would suggest to check with your doctor and your DAFNE educator ASAP.

Hope you will get your BG's within the targets soon.

Cheers

How old is your insulin? Could it have been recently affected by heat? Is it discoloured at all?

I'd try a fresh batch of insulin and see if that helps. Sometimes I get the odd vial that just seems to have gone bad

Also, if you are female, you can have higher BGs in the days preceding a period.

Cheers,
Warwick.
