I had a really terrible experience Monday evening after injecting 23 units of Toujeo my blood sugars dropped like a stone. From 14 to 2 in half an hour. I put emergency plan into action .orange juice, dextrose, wine gums, biscuit, chocolate, half sandwich and sugar in water. Eventually called ambulance as really felt would pass out blood sugars started to move after two hours. Have seen DSN this morning who thinks the insulin pooled and one of those unfortunate events that happen. I've never experienced anything like this and found it frightening. Toujeo reduced to 21 units. Now I find my levels are high appreciate the knock on effect of reducing doses. Ate lunch at 1 injected with correction dose of 2 . Two hours later levels hit 20 felt unwell so put in another correction dose of 1.5 But levels still high food time is approaching don't want to insulin stack. So do I wait until fast acting insulin ends at 7 then eat put in another correction knowing food will initially push my levels higher and feel unwell. Then background insulin due at 9.30pm. Feel like whatever I do it's never right.
Thanks
