Adjusting insulin dosage: Increasing Novomix may be necessary if blood sugar is high, but only adjust based on monitoring and medical advice.
Monitor blood sugar closely: Illness can cause fluctuations, so frequent checks are crucial.
Consult your healthcare provider: They can offer personalized advice on medication adjustments during your infection.
