Type 1 diabetes constant high blood sugar

So for the past week I have been struggling with my diabetes quite badly. For the first day I was struggling I had low blood sugars, that bad that I had a hypo for around 2 hours (around 2.6) and I was struggling to get it back up and I was also sick. Since then I was scared of my blood sugars getting that dangerously low again so I decreased my lantus (24 hr insulin) to make sure that it would happen again. I only did this for one night then I went back to my original units of lantus. but since then my blood sugars have been high and I can’t seem to control them. I have upped my lantus from 29units to 34 and my blood sugars are still reading around 16-21. I am giving myself extra insulin when I am eating also, nearlly double as much as I should usually take, but it’s taking a few hours to work and get into my system and then it still continues to be high.

I really don’t know what to do and I’m really scared.

I’ve tested my key tones and they are only 0.1 so nothing to worry about.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Isn't it the case that when you are sick your BG tends to run high?  I'm not clear on how much you want to fight that, and how much you just wait until you feel better.
