Yesterday evening...........ready for this?
At work, team meeting, my lack of will power got the better of me and each time the tin of sweets went round the table I found a neat pile sat in front of me, briefly! So after the meeting (just after 17:00) did a blood test, as expected it was very high, did a correction, cycled home and before tea I was back in normal range (@18:20), which seemed a bit quick really. Bolused for tea, and then shortly after took him (<--) for a walk, just coming home about 300yards away, thought I felt low (symptom is a prickly heat mainly on my back!) - got in and did a test, 2.3 (@20:20) had glucotabs and feeling fine within 10mins, no big deal.
The up shot of this little story is that I believe I had sweet residue on my finger when doing the blood test after the meeting, giving me a higher high, and therefore taking too much correction, and then possibly miscalculating tea time carbs, stacking tea times bolus on top of the correction too, 2hrs exactly after tea came the low.
This May I'd have had T1D for 20yrs, you'd think these sort of things shouldn't happen...........!
