Hi All,
I normally take 24 units of by basal insulin at night just before going to bed and pre meals 4/5 units of my bolus. Thursday whilst watching TV and distracted I took 24 units of my bolus by mistake. This lead to a night in hospital and on a glucose drip. I felt awful not only physically but that I have caused worry to my wife and waisted valuable NHS time when despite being a mistake was self inflicted. I have been diagnosed LADA only two years ago and still struggling to get to grips with the whole thing.
