Another question...
Last night, normal dinner: breaded chicken, new pots, carrots and peas. Only thing odd was sticky bun, not had since diagnosis (though cake and things, yes). Bolused for whole lot at once, so a good lead in on the bun.
Starting mmol(8.30pm): 8.8
Two hours after (10.30pm): 18.9 😱 Did full correction suggested by pump.
Two hours after (12.30am): 14.2 (not great, but from this we knew some insulin was going in!) Gave under correction from pump suggestion, 2/3rds of dose. This was because sensitive to insulin in night, and big correction before.
One hour after(1.30am): 14.3 (what? Did full correction.)
One hour after that (2.30am): 11.2 (okay, coming down, finally)
E woke at 5.30am feeling very low, but after two tests was convinced he wasn't: was only 5.5mmol ish (clearly caused by such a drop?) Did have one glucose cause felt so awful, went back to sleep. We tested him again at 8am, still 5.6mmol.
What a night! On my knees.
There is *no* explanation we can think of for this weird blip. No strange exercise or stress, no dietary thing except the sticky bun, which would be SO odd to do something so long and odd...
Does this just HAPPEN sometimes?! What are others' experiences please?
