Hi guys I have had a terrible 48 hours with my diabetes and really just wanted to rant my utter confusion on here.
So yesterday morning I wake feeling high I take correction and eat something slow releasing and put units in for it. 2 hours later I'm 17, an hour later I'm 18 I put Lantus in (I'm on a pump so follow one hour rule) 6 units. I move to 10 in the next hour or so yay I think. My sites due to change so I change it the next 6-8 hours I move between 17-21 I change site area three times ( one because one site is a fault) I put in a total of 8 humalog and a further 14 Lantus. Does not budge. I have the first level of keytones on the stick but I do move back to normal in an hour. By 3am I finally get to 15, by 5am I'm 8 and by 10am today I'm 2.0. I think have some hypo issues twice through today which I reduced insulin and reduced how much to take to try to combat it but it doesn't work.
I've spent the day realising not only could I have been in hospital last night,there is no logical reason to what happened, I have had such bad headaches I can't turn he light on without pain( which is normal when my headaches get bad) I'm fed up of water and Coke. I have had to miss a days income (self employed) and I'm just bummed out!!!
End of rant, thanks
