So I've beeen diabetic for 10 years and got put on the pump in April this year. I have absolutely love it! from blood test it shows it has improved my management massively!!!! However recently I've been getting a few high readings, never had keystones.
(Apart from when I was first diagnosed and had DKA!!!!) tonight I had a high reading of 17 so I done my usual correction and dosage for our Indian takeaway, something I've not had in years! We had chicken korma and something called pshwari nan bread. After that I became unbelievably thirsty, clearly I didn't think anything of this until I started peeing a lot. (May I add I had also changed my set prior to my dinner coming) I just tested my blood to be told the reading was over 33.3 - 0.4 keytones. I added up that days doesage and took 20% to do a pen correction, but it seemed faaaar to low, so panicked and took 20 units of nova rapid!!
Now I'm panicking and feel like I've failed I'm scared incase they take my pump off me! Or think I'm irresponsible. For the first time in years I feel like giving up!
