Don't you just hate it when you've had weeks of near perfect sugars, regular, perfect out of bed figures thanks to a well matched basal, accurate bolus dosages and then out of the blue WHAM! you're hypo, you're high, you're hypo!
It started when I reduced my Basal slightly last night as I intended to go for a cycle ride this morning, also reduced my bolus with breakfast by 25%. As it happens I didn't go for the ride. At lunch time I was 4.7 before I had a a sandwich on brown hovis and knowing I'd be with a client all afternoon I reduced my bolus again by 25% figuring I'd rather be slightly high for a few hours rather than risk going low during a meeting.
3 hours later whilst in a meeting I had to excuse myself as I felt a hypo coming on. In the car I checked my bloods which were 2.6. I took 5 glucose tablets and when back in the clients building I munched a Mars bar from the vending machine. Within the next half hours I checked my bloods and they were 8.2. Perfect for the 20 minute drive home.
An hour later I was preparing dinner. My bloods had dropped to 3.9. I've just had dinner with around 40 carbs and decided against taking bolus.
I'm going to have to start again tomorrow, fasting, testing, adjusting. How long does this honeymoon period last? As if shoving needles into ourselves isn't bad enough!
I'll fast now until bed time then try to get to bed with BS around 7 take a reduced basal and then see where I'm at in the morning.
Rant over! - Thanks for listening!
