Help staving off a hypo

[Lucyr]

I didn't think of that, it shouldn't be to filling thanks

Failing that, a cup of tea/hot chocolate with sugar and a few biscuits, or a banana/grapes if you want something healthier, should make a good dent in the carbs needed.

Hey @Jacen017.

How did your evening go? Did you manage to avoid any major hypos?

..... and not have too much to end up hyper either. Hope you are OK.

I survived the night with one mild hypo.

I feel so full today though

Thanks for all of your advice.

 

[rebrascora]

Phew!! Well done!
If it is any consolation, the next time it happens (OK, maybe not weighing your plate 🙄 .... but a big overdose) it will be easier to manage and less scary, although it sounds like you rather played it cool😎.... I was a heart pounding, nauseaous panic stricken mess the first time I did it. 😱 🙄

Nicely done!

What did you do to avoid the epic hypo? Juice? Fruit? Jam? Biscuits? Sugary tea? Honey? All of the above?

The insulin wants what it wants.

I'm such an idiot 🙄

no your not i think we all made similar mistakes at least once. i've twice injected novorapid instead of levimener and i think yesterday i came very close to injected liverymen instead of novorapid but realised just in before i pushed the button down.

On injections double dosed on basal so your not alone, something like big bowl of cornflakes works wonders in these circumstances.
