[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1969319, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=29675]@Lynmi[/USER], as a T1D, not as professional advice or opinion: first of all, [I]we have all make some mistake like this[/I], it happens and reminds us that we are human and that we have this extra burden of having to check times over and over !! [I]Be kind to yourself[/I] and as you know worry only puts BSLs up !! I assume you have your glucose meter with you ? You can at least[I] monitor your levels[/I]. you would expect a rise in your BSL from breakfast but higher than usual. [I]Can you speak with your DSN or doctor to get more advice?[/I] If you google 'picture of profiles Levemir' you will see that it has a fairly flat profile or low persisting blood sugar -lowering effect), certainly compared to Novorapid. So is does not seem likely that it would help much but do see what your DSN or doctor says. [I]I suspect that your DSN or doctor will suggest not to eat much in the way of carbs [/I]but also ask them , if your BSL gets up to say, 14 mol/l plus, what can you do? And BTW lots of water helps to keep the blood 'watered down' a bit. I know of someone, and i cannot recommend it, that was able in a similar situation but with BSL near 18 mol/l to inject some long-acting insulin into his muscle, where it was taken up more rapidly and helped bring down his BSL, thankfully not too low. He would have had to have a muscle close enough to his skin to have managed this with the short needles these days !! Hopefully with advice you will see through the day with minor inconvenience. :):):) Edit: And your Mum and Dad will be none the wiser !!! [/QUOTE]
