Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you all well!
I was wondering if I could kindly seek your invaluable advice for a little troubleshooting? You see, I have this 'case study' that's been on my mind, and I'd absolutely love to hear your expert insights and suggestions on the best way to handle it. Here's the scenario:
Imagine you're in the office, and you've already enjoyed your delicious lunch at around 12:00 hrs, expertly using your trusty insulin pump to bolus for your meal. Fast forward to 15:00 hrs (3 hours later), and your friendly line manager unexpectedly asks if you could 'pop out for just a minute' and grab a file from our friendly collaborating office. Now, 'popping out' in this case involves a little adventure: walking to the nearest train station, navigating some stairs, strolling to your destination, and then, of course, making your way back to the office. All in all, it's about 45 minutes of gentle exercise.
Your pump has been keeping you at a picture-perfect 5.3, and you still have some bolus on board. What's the secret to ensure you can fulfil your manager's request without risking any pesky hypoglycaemia?
I'm turning to my fellow diabetes squad for some much-needed wisdom and guidance! Please, dear friends, shower me with your answers and insights.
Warmest regards, Josephine
