[QUOTE="tinyroman, post: 1300124, member: 49377"] After eight hours waiting in A&E with a non-diabetes related problem, no sleep the following day to make it up, having to sort out Mum because she was assaulted that night, I was beyond shattered when I came to do my evening insulin, and got my doses mixed up. 36 Novorapid and 6 Lantus instead of the other way round. I hadn't realised this until I started feeling very strange and doses of glucose weren't raising my sugar levels. Fortunately my friend came home, and after 2 hours of getting me to drink orange juice and eat bits of bread, I came around (all I'd wanted was for her to go away and let me sleep). It's now three days later, and although my sugar levels are normal again I still feel very unwell - shaky and nauseous. Is this to be expected? I've never done anything like od before and don't know if I just need to wait longer for it to wear off, or to mention it to the DN tomorrow. Thanks for any info you can give me. [/QUOTE]
