- People who try and make Diabetes the centre of the party and poor me, I'm special because I have diabetes now everyone run around after me.
I met up with a number of friends to car pool at an out of town fast food burger place early this morning. The staff were not engaged and it was clear they didn't want to be there. While waiting I ordered a flat white NO sugar. The coffee tasted disgusting, but I drank most of it. I bolused for the coffee 20g and I had already dealt with Auntie Dawn, I had not had breakfast so there was no funny food delay occurring. My CGM shot up and flat lined at 20 (the CGM doesn't go any higher) for about 2hrs and fell back just as fast almost a perfect square wave. The only thing I can think of was it was the Coffee and it was laced with a lot of sugar. The insulin is ok as I didn't have a problem at lunch. I frequently have a morning coffee and I have never had that reaction. I didn't say I'm diabetic, but I don't think that's any real excuse.
That got me thinking, if someone knew you were diabetic and deliberately gave you sugar (excluding serious hypo) would you consider that a type of poisoning?
