[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2492157, member: 372717"] Well, the good news is you now have an explanation for your bg behaviour. (And honestly, most of us have done the switch between basal and bolus at one time or another.) In your position, I certainly would skip today's night time dose, which means you've got 3 times the normal tresiba hitting your system for the next, maybe 2 days? If you are panicking you could ring 111 for advice but in my opinion it's a question of doing enough testing to make sure that you don't creep into hypo territory, particularly at night. Do you have someone at home with you as back up? I'm not experienced with tresiba so my advice may not be the most useful. (My mix ups have been injecting bolus instead of basal, which required massive amounts of carbs to stop the crash, but was fine once the bolus had worn off.) Here's a thread from 6 years ago [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/double-dose-on-tresiba.87673/']Double dose on Tresiba | Diabetes Forum • The Global Diabetes Community[/URL] Tagging [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] whose thread that was. (Edited to change "basal had worn off" to "bolus had worn off ", why oh why do I find it so easy to mix the two words up?) [/QUOTE]
