Stupided bloody sensationalist news headlines about a cure for diabetes when they mean another possible treatment method for type 2 management.
Idiots asking if I'm watching what I eat... 'Why, no. Whatever for? I'm intentionally poisoning myself with every mouthful I consume!"
Sunday, out with the family for a meal. I'd not checked my BG after the first beer prior to the meal and figured I'd wait till after. I'd no doubt have taken too much then, as the sugar from the beers would have kicked in rather than... I know, I know, BAD diabetic...
I've been thinking that my Lantus doses are probably too low as my HbA1c is stupidly high.
In any case, I had salad and fish and another beer. Taking the humalog to go with the beers and food was a fail as my needle broke and for some unknown reason; or more probably the fact that I double check that I've packed my one year old's bag correctly. I was unable to administer any insulin. Short of spoiling everyone's meal and insisting my partner leave a drive home to grab my supplies, I had a double vodka and checked my BG. It was high enough to freak us all out so I had another double vodka and waited until we'd finished the meal. Was driven straight home, checked levels, had evening Lantus and humalog as required.
In 10min the first double had reduced my levels by 7 units so the tactic worked this time, fortunately.
Has anyone else done something similar?
