Nearly did it!

I just tested, got my pen, put the needle on, did a 2 unit air shot, dialled up my dose...and realised it was the wrong pen! 😱 Just noticed in the nick of time!

I have done things like that ! U have done things so many times in auto mode that its not that hard. U sppotted it ! Well Done !

 

[everydayupsanddowns]

Been there. Done that!

Almost asich fun as forgetting you've bolused and double dosing 😱

 

[Cumbrianlass]

Glad you had a lucky escape - I have made the error only once - but it was enough - it certainly isn't fun when you realise that you have given a huge dose of QA by mistake and the feasting has to commence!😱

Oooo close call Alan good job you realised!

I'v yet to do this......yet! have come close by grabbing the wrong pen but then soon realised lol

 

[FM001]

Close shave, keep the pens well apart so it's not as easy to get mixed up.

 

[margie]

Eek - pleased that you spotted the problem in time.

 

[AJLang]

Scary!! Glad that you realised before you injected

 

[Northerner]

Thanks folks, a lucky escape and soooo close! The pens are completely different and in completely different cases - I think it was because I was very tired and just forgot what time of day it was and why I needed to inject 😱

Actually, whilst they are both horrible things to do I think it might be worse to inject slow-acting when you meant to inject fast-acting as it would stay in your system 24 hours (for me, anyway). Also, I inject much higher doses of fast-acting so to inject a higher amount of SA by mistake would mean I had way too much basal.

Woke up to a 5.0 this morning

My worst mistake was when I was 17 and so desperate to get back to reading my book that I injected a massive amount of quick acting instead of long acting. The amount I took was the equivalent of 3 x my largest meal! My mum had to call an ambulance and I ate 2 packs of glucose tablets over 30 mins 😱 I was a self confessed geek 😱

 

[Northerner]

Ooh, nasty! 😱
