For 3 years after diagnosis I've managed my BG pretty well, today I majorly screwed up. i'd been ill for a few days with my BG rocketing, this morning i felt better, but still a very high reading. I took a very large correction dose, and went out for a few hours, 2.5 hours later it was still very high, so I took another v large correction dose. An hour later I realised I was in a very bad way, very light headed, although it wasn't like normal ongoing hyper symptoms. On my way to grab my gluco tabs from another room I passed out in my utility room collapsing unconscious and whacking my head against the wall and floor, wiping out the ironing board, wine rack, clothes maiden and whole heap of other stuff. I can only imagine my liver kicked a load of glucose into my system as I awoke 20 minutes later, albeit with a pool of blood next to my head and a huge lump and cut on the back of my head.
Lesson learnt, trust your gut and be cautious, use your spare meter if not sure, don't take your meter as gospel with very high readings if it doesn't seem to stack up with your carbs intake.
