- Monitor your blood sugar level and check for sugar and ketones in your urine.
- An excess of sugar or ketones must be considered as an emergency, call your doctor or diabetes specialist nurse.
While awaiting medical advice:
- Drink water regularly.
- Continue to eat as normal.
- Continue to inject your insulin as normal.
Look into the causes of this hyperglycaemia
- Did you have too little or no insulin at all?
- Did you have any infection or fever?
- Did you experience any stress or worry?
- Did you have less exercise than usual?
- Did you eat more than you usually do?
If you feel you can identify the cause of your "hyper", write it down in your diary.
Never miss your insulin injection!
Ask your diabetes nurse for more advice
