Well yesterday I did a very stupid thing, by mistake I injected 54 units of Novo Rapid as I pulled out the needle from my body I realized what I had done, I was on my own in the house so I telephoned The Diabetes Centre for advice, the kept a watch on me while my blood sugar dropped and dropped. I was getting panicky I was being told all through this I shouldn't be on my own but I simply couldn't get help. very much later in the day my wife came home and she was advised to ring the Emergency services, my wife was crying but there was nothing I could do simply lay there. The Emergency service attended and all ended well, but how stupid could I have been? I always check the pens rapid and Lantus, but this time I somehow got in a mess.
The effect on my Wife? she was beside herself, crying and panicking, she called for a neighbour to come in to help her deal with the situation. I hope I never ever do that again it scared us both.
Lesson learnt, the hard way.
