A little bit of a story...
I went out drinking to a works party on Friday and for this reason I didn't have any insulin past 12 noon. Due to the amount of alcohol I would probably be having and food. Normally I would follow nurses advice and go to bed high and treat in the morning. However, since I went out I've not needed to take any fast acting insulin since Friday morning. It's now Tuesday morning and I've eaten lots of carby foods over this time.
I've been taking my 10 units of Tresiba on a night (long lasting) but that's it. Also yesterday I ate a large meal of chicken and fries with no insulin and my sugars stayed within range. I've spiked only once to 10mmol but this was for 5-10 minutes before it came back down.
Normally I would think this was the honeymoon period, but I already went through this for 1 month in June of last year.
Has anyone else experienced this? I will be contacting my nurse within the next few days to explain all this but just wondered if this is a common thing?
Average daily readings without fast acting is: 5 - 9 mmol
