Frequently asked question: What should you do when you are having a hyper?

If your blood sugar level is too high, you need extra insulin. Short-acting insulin can quickly lower your blood sugar at such a moment.

Long-acting insulin works too slowly at such a time. You should have learned from your doctor or nurse from your diabetes team how much additional insulin you need to inject.

It is important to check your urine for ketones if your blood glucose level is 15 mmol / l or higher. Contact your doctor or diabetes nurse if there are ketones in your urine or if you are nauseous, have to vomit or have other symptoms.
