[QUOTE="Poppy2, post: 881134, member: 137919"] Hello Everyone, after nearly 5 months of pumping I made a huge mistake this morning! Nearly 3 hours after breakfast I checked my blood sugar prior to going on a well earned shopping trip! Only to find my BM was 18 mmols! I went through the usual process of elimination regarding possible causes and whilst checking my Bolus on my pump-discovered I had forgotten to give it!!! So I gave the recommended dose using my wizard. I knew I needed to be cautious given it was already 3 hours post food so monitored my BM's every half hour........consequently my BM fell with a bit of a bang! To 7 mmols in less than an hour!-so I utilised a TBR to compensate as obviously wanted to avoid a low!........but no I drastically dropped into a hypo of 2.6! mmols-in the middle of a busy shopping centre and have been feeling rubbish and annoyed with myself since-although I have since eaten-re blouses and am relatively stable again!! Has anybody else made this mistake and how did you rectify it?......lesson learnt.......there is a first time for everything x [/QUOTE]
