So... I was accidently given and drank a pint of full fat coke. BG was 24mmol/l when I realised. Gave 5 units to bring me to 9mmol/l. Now back up to 18.1mmol/l. Just given another 3 units.
I'm hoping this is it done, but I'm a tad scared to go to sleep incase of a huge hypo.
Anyone had experiences with this? X
Hi,
I hope you were OK after last night's event?
I also notice your a Lantus/Novo rapid user like me!
Yeah, I've been caught out like this in the past.. The problem is "one" may have been nursing that pint of Coke for an hour? Sipping away at it.. So the correction doses given may have apeared to take no major effect..?
Have you consumed any alcohol at some point during the night out too?
I'll assume you just drank soft drinks.. Personally, I take the lantus before bed.
Now this is my experience! I'm fully hypo aware, but still wish to minimalize any nocturnal events..
I would have just done one "correction dose" of rapid, at half of what I would normally do to correct.
Then the Lantus per usual..
Test on waking as usual, then dealt with any outstanding "residual" high (if any?) in the morning..
I would of been a little concerned with the two wave rapid correction & (assuming you dose at bed time?) Lantus profile working overnight on what is essentially fast acting carbs in a pint of Coke?
I hope you rose well this morning?
