[QUOTE="ewelina, post: 1258295, member: 46259"] Hello Eveyone :) Something really strange happened to me yesterday. I woke up with really high sugars in the morning (16.2). I took correction (about 3u). One hour later I boulsed for breakfast and 25 mintues after that when I was eating eat my vision went a bit funny. Lots of kind of circles floating around. Generally I felt ok but I decide to test. The meter showed 1.6 :wideyed: I must say I felt okish and could think quite straight. Unclipped my pump and drank as much coke as I managed (3 mini cans of about 45g sugar all together). After 10 mins I was back to around 4mmol. Felt fine so decided not to cancel planned countryside walk of 12 miles. Whole day my sugars were quite erratic but I probably didn't bolus enough for lunch and snacks I had during the day. On the way home I was again quite high so decided to change cannula. My God, Ive never seen anything like this. The site bled like crazy. My t-shirt and jumper were soaked with blood on the waistline. I managed to stop it and luckily had a spare top in my rucksack. Have any of you ever experienced something similar? I assume my cannula hit some vessel , hence the bleeding. Is it possible that all insulin I had in the morning got into the vessel and thats why I had such a bad hypo? I don't understand why I woke up so high though? [/QUOTE]
