Dang! - took too much Novorapid

Oops. Couple of packets of those then!

I would have thought 2 packs as well, but I took 16 dextro tabs, so just over 1 pack and that seems to have done the trick.

Thanks @linnyb

I have tried hiding sugary/naughty but I usually end up eating them to stop the temptation (if that makes sense).

Hi Rob, hope you got through the night ok. I totally get not having treats hidden, its hard to avoid temptation! Unfortuanately you either love or hate dextro tabs, & I hate them! YUK!!!!

Crikey @robert72 that's a missed opportunity if ever I saw one...I would've been down to the shops in a flash

Hope you're feeling ok today

hi @linnyb

All good through the night thanks. I don't mind the odd one or two dextro, but a whole packet

I'm good thanks Natalie - thought I'd better stay in with that much IOB.

Back to awesomeness, I see

Glad you dealt with it with your usual casual aplomb.

Yes, because it proves you're alive

Re overdose with insulin.......I keep a tin of ambrosia rice pudding in the cupboard with ring pool lid. It's nice and easy to eat and easily use up iob in excess.

Horrible when you do that, I have done the same many times. But just recently hope i have found a cure. 'I used to have my bolus and my basal at the same time early morning. what i now do is...
Have my breakfast bolus, soon after waking. (I keep both pens in the same pouch) and put a pen needle alongside the basal pen. I start a stopwatch to time the bolus. I then shower and get dressed and have breakfast 25mins after my bolus(stopwatch) Then about 20mins later an alarm goes off on my Libre or could use a phone. This tells me to have my Toujeo, after which I fill in my logbook.
By seperating them by 45mins it has worked so far.
wish you well Robert

thanks @richyb

I knew I was doing a bolus but was distracted and clicked up too many units. Only other time I ever did this was when I unwittingly put Humalog in my Lantus pen and was completely oblivious until the hypo hit
