...and not my spelling, grammar or punctuation - my blood sugar! After being all smug and self-satisfied and boasting that I'd only had 5 hypos in the last 30 days, I've had 5 in the last two! I've been lowering my doses to try and counter it, but not quite getting it right, obviously. Before tea last night I was 3.2, so I gave myself an appropriately reduced dose and ate a hearty meal of sausage, mash, peas and carrots, plus a nectarine and chocolate biscuit. When it came to test before bed I was half expecting to have to go reaching for the peanut butter - but I was 13.1! Goodness knows why. This was 4.5 hours after my tea, so I guess it was a late spike, perhaps from the mash, although I've never had that before.
After all the talk here about corrections, I thought I should perhaps try it, although I was nervous about correcting before bed. I gave myself 2 units then went to play on the computer for a bit. An hour later I was 7.8 and worried I might have given myself too much. However, I woke at 3 am (not deliberately, I felt the call of the porcelain bowl) and tested - I was 4.9. I woke this morning to 5.0
Phew!😱
