Over the last week I have to lower my insulin on a daily basis due to hypos. Now I no longer taking Novorapid at all!!! Still taking Lantus as normal.
Now, I should say that I only eat once a day and have done for donkey's years so this is nothing new but I did have the flu two weeks ago and I am still recovering from it.
I have not made any drastic changes to my diet. I eat clean and seasonally.
Any ideas from you good folks out there?
The results of the flu might be part of the hypo numbers and also the decrease of insulin doses. What did your doctor say about the issue?
I havn't been to the doc yet. It's taking a while to get over the 'flu and since I picked it up at the docs in the first place I am waiting until I feel better. I might make an appointment on Monday though.
Please call them and tell them that you want to be seen right away since you're diabetic. Please let us know what you find out.

Lada and type 1 is caused due to the destruction of beta cells. But how does it occur ? By autoantibodies. How ? It's postulated that an infection - most probably a viral infection ?flu causes these autoantibodies to be produced due to antigenic similarities between the virus and beta cells. So flu is not a good infection for anybody.
I don't agree that flu can improve D.
That's right!
