I think I'm guilty of everything...I never changed the needle on the pen, ( pump user now) meter myself with the same needle 50 times, never keep the insulin I use in the fridge and still sometimes overcompansate when I have hypo, that starts a very tiring rollercoaster ride, hate it .And I cheat sometimes and have eat something forbidding like a cake or candy
I stumble to the kitchen end eat everything I see when I'm 2 or lower- 10 minutes, that´s just plain stupid. If I'm over 2, than maybe...The wait 10 minute rule after treating a hypo before testing again.
Who the heck thought that was a good idea? As if I am going to sit calmly twiddling my thumbs, watching the clock go round in the hope my blood sugar of 1.9 might just go up instead of down. It might be my last 10 minutes! Eat or drink some panic glucose to pass the time, that's my rule.
