Hey guys.
I took my basal quite late last night. I usually have it anytime between 9pm and 2am but I was playing Diablo until 3am lol.
I took it and as I pulled the needle out I realized it was bent almost 90 degrees. Somehow the insulin still went in because I had a tiny lump and nothing was wet. Once I massaged it a bit, it went away.
Is this dangerous? I've woken up this afternoon with a low and seen a huge plummet overnight ( 21mmol down to 3.8) but that's not that crazy for me to be honest. I did also have a bit of bolus on board. I do find that regardless of basal dose my sugar levels tend to drop when I'm sleeping and I seem very sensitive to insulin between the hours of 2am and 7am but they remain perfectly stable if I'm sick/not eating. I've had times before where I've hardly eaten for days due to illness and my basal doesn't plummet me, I tend to just hover around 9 - 10mml.
I'm currently experiencing sugars a bit all over the place because I started Invisalign a week ago to help my TMJD disorder and I've been in a LOT of pain, eating way less and sleeping schedule is a bit messed up.
Just wondering if I should be worried about the basal?
