So Thursday, I don’t know exactly what happened, I think I may have double shot my novolog, but don’t remember a second shot.
About an hour after lunch I feel the impending drop not yet detected by my Dexcom. I go to my works cafeteria (work at a large company) and bought a Mountain Dew code red and a snickers, expecting to take a few sips and then eat like half the snickers.
About 30 minutes later I still feel the drop and devour all sugar.
After over 100 grams of sugar I can’t get above 135 or so, and even then it’s a short lived spike. I then request leaving early and my girlfriend picks me up, because I don’t trust myself to drive nor to be alone. I drink a full apple juice, and still can’t break above 150.
I start to get concerned, so I take my glucagon (basqimi, which is very unpleasant to take, but immediately takes me way up.) gf made pasta for dinner and I finally leveled out around 7 pm, around 7 hours after the potential double dose.
Diabetes is crazy and you can never expect to be perfect all the time. Now I’ve gotta go buy more juice boxes and such.
Stay safe friends.
