***** 3rd time I got into this mess again last night. Different colour pens, but somehow got the cartridges mixed up; I’m a bit colour blind btw.
A few late nights and beers and taking basal at night can sometimes be problematic for me. Think my red basal pen ran out the night before, it was late and I must have accidentally loaded the fiasp cartridge into my tresiba pen by mistake.
Next night then turned to disaster, worsened by topping up with 3 fiasp (as 10bg at bedtime) plus 11.5units of fiasp (which should have been tresiba!). Came out of sleep one later with a bg 1.0! On brink of coma, sweat everywhere. Sorted it in the end after 2 yoghurts and endless breakfast bars.
Of course then woke up in morning to a bg of 18. ***** nights like that put you into a diabetes depression! So a day of endless testing and inj in order to stabilize things again (a **** Sunday).
It’s like the old diesel/petrol problems. Can we have a physical difference in the cartridge and pen so you can’t mix the **** things up.
Anyone else got into this mess?
Maybe I should go basal dose in the morning when I'm more awake?
