Suggest Treatment For Hyperglycemia

Hi. My forehead sticker thermometer read over 100 degrees. My oral thermometer read 97.1 degrees. I have type 1 diabetes and have had severely high blood sugar today, but I thought that corresponded to a higher intake of carbohydrates. The insulin requirement to cover those carbs was over 15 times greater, though. And my 10 mile jog/walk today had me feeling very weak. At this second, I am not nauseas. My expired ketone strips read negative. After 7 hours of extreme hyperglycemia (over 300), I am now dropping to 109. What are your thoughts on the temperature variances? Does this sound like a flu with me being able to remedy the blood sugar with tons of insulin and no ketones (although the strips are expired)? Thank you.

Hello,

Uncontrolled type 1 diabetes may lead to ketoacidosis which may give generalized weakness. also elevated blood sugar may lead hyperkalemia and hyponatremia may lead to generalized weakness.

Fever may possibly be associated with respiratory Infection or urinary Infection or simple viral fever.

Monitor your blood sugar levels. Please get it done blood and urine examination for leukocyte count and total count.

If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
