Sooo I normally consider myself to be a well behaved and organised diabetic, today not so much!
Woke up at 6am 7.2 (happy with that). Had my two rounds of burgen bread / bacon and my normal morning bolus and toddled off to work (after checking I had my checker and Apidra with me - always do that, don;t want to forget things!!!).
Got to work and did a scan on my Libre, 11.2 hmm did a blood check 9.9 higher than I'd like so had half a unit correction (I'm on about one unit to 5 mmol correction when under 11) also noticed that I only have 2 tests left bother I'll have to rely on my libre a bit more today, I do have some strips to use with the libre reader though so no biggy.
Scanned again at 10am 14... Use the libre to do another blood check and I'm now 11.9 double bother better have another unit, go to dial it up and realise that there doesn't seem to be a lot of insulin left in the pen (sinking feeling starts) decide to dial up as much insulin s possible to see how much is left (4.5 units) triple bother ah well light lunch for me then, go to dial back the units and realise that I can't dial them back without wasting the insulin (this is before I've had my extra 1 unit correction). Sinking feeling realy kicking in now.
Now what to do, dial it back to 1 unit and have that (leaving me with no insulin for the rest of the day) oh no, much better idea, inject but only administer the one unit leaving me with some to spare, great. So I Do, only the plunger on the Junior Start is a bit sticky so.. end up injecting 2 units instead!
I have the feeling it's going to be a long old day!
