[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2294298, member: 372207"] Of course you should have read the label. But no consultant should expect a shocked and bewildered person who has just been told they have a life altering condition and now go stab yourself with sharp objects daily to take in everything. The trick for the consultant is to remember how much is going on in a patients head in such a moment and how little will be processed. So they should double check the most important bits, especially the ones to do with safety! Then again, we've all made those kind of mistakes, both the kind of mistake your consultant made and the one you made. It's part of life, and usually things are fine in the end. We can't advise on dosing. Those numbers are higher than a non-diabetic would see but not so high they are an emergency. If they were my numbers I would like to see if I could get them a little lower (albeit not in such a spectacular way as you did!) I think the way you've handled the hypo with your husband is perfect, by the way! [/QUOTE]
