Stupid here managed to double dose himself with Novo Rapid at lunch time resulting in going (for me) hypo all afternoon, I had to cram food down myself in order to stop it falling to far.
Please note I am bed bound and severely disabled, a good bg for me is in the 12-15 range.

By tea time my BG had gone the other way completely, over 20 so I didn't eat much and only took 6 units instead of 12 along with my glucophage.

I've been drinking plenty since though not constantly peeing, also ate a banana and had another 4 units with it.

Bg is still just under 19, KT's where originally 8, then came down to 1.5, no fruity breath, no vomiting or runs, still drinking plenty,

Is it time for an ambulance or can I do as my doc suggested drink plenty, eat and inject as normal?
 
BG now 14.9.Ketones 1.5, threw up a little while ago when I ate my supper and injected, still feeling a little bit sick but no more throwing up, waiting for 111 to call back, I've drunk plenty of water and continue to
 
I just thought I'd let you all know it was a DKA, ended up being very very serious, just been released having been told I was very lucky.
Now stable in the low singles and not messing about with it again.
