How much should you have taken and how long ago did you eat?

at the moment i have gone down to 3units because i was going through the honeymoon stage really badly but tthat has cooled off and im seeing my nurse again tomorrow to sort the units out again. And i ate at 7pm.

Thanks

an hour ago my blood sugar was 9.1 and it wentt up to 13.5 in that hr!

 

[Northerner]

Hopefully it won't go up much higher since you ate 4 hours ago. What did you eat? As you are on such small doses I wouldn't like to suggest you take any correction insulin as it might send you low. I would monitor it for the next hour and see if it goes any higher.

 

[Northerner]

Although 13.5 may sound high it won't do you any harm as a one-off.

Yeah thats what i was worried about, For dinner I had veg, lamb steak and a few oven chips. I also had a lil bit of burger source, and then a muller light yoghurt

I think I would just tough it out Becky. Keep monitoring, but I would expect that you won't rise much more. You didn't have a lot of carbs from the sounds of it, and they should have all digested by now or at least in the next hour or so.

Thank you, yeah I am just going to ride it out. Went for a 10 min run so that might bring it down a bit lol. I didn't really want to just inject because my diabetic nurse told me not to self inject. You have put my mind at ease though. Going to check again in and hour and maybe set an alarm for 4am to check it again then.

Thanks for your help =)

You're welcome Becky 🙂 I hope it checks out OK and you manage to get some sleep! And don't feel bad, everyone does it some time or another - I even did it the other way around once, I injected and then forgot to eat! 😱

How are your levels this morning? Don't feel too bad about forgetting to inject - as Northerner says, we've all done it - usually more than once - or is that just me🙄

 

[trophywench]

Not just you Casper, even with a pump I still forget to bolus sometimes!
