Well after my rather traumatic day with fire alarm going off at work and having to deal with an actual small fire, my BG have gone to pot. And I had such a great 24 hours before it.

Not sure if it is maybe the adrenalin which has caused the high BG. Was sitting at 14.9 at one point:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Starting to come down slowly now but have taken fairly large correction dose

Ah well type 1 keeps me on my toes, never a dull moment

I was wondering how you got on. I think you can put that down to adrenaline. It'll sort itself out, at least now you know what a day of good blood sugars looks like, and how you achieved, so you should get it again.

The edited pic is showing the drop from swimming :)

Morning All,
As @Mel dCP is getting used to her pump, I am getting used to being disconnected. It is certainly a weird feeling and I am definitely not used to it. Last night, I got out my pump belt to strap it to my leg ... but there was nothing to strap. This morning, I did a BG test before the shower, calculated a correction and added 30 minutes basal because I would be disconnected for that long ... except I wasn't.
On the plus side, my clothes look better without their bulge and I am not having to think about dropping the pump when I go to the loo.
On the negative side, I can only correct whole units (my backup pen does not do half units) and I woke in the middle of the night with a high BG because Lantus isn't as good as a constant drip of NovoRapid (and I may have remembered my Lantus dose wrong after two and a half years).
Hopefully, all will be back to normal tomorrow.

Does anyone know if there is anything I need to consider when I reconnect?
I disconnected at 2pm and took my daily basal at that time so am planning to reconnect around about the same time.
Do I keep my doses the same or do I need to reduce them for the first day?

Hi @helensaramay, I had a pump disconnection for 2 days some years back. I recommenced at usual programmed pumps doses some 6 hours before the Levemir (twice daily use in my case) was going to run out. That seemed to allow enough time for the pump to 'come up to speed' re: BSL control. Best Wishes.

Morning peeps, hope you all had a good BG overnight.

After my high of yesterday afternoon and correction dose I of course jumped back on rollercoaster, with a 3.5 and going down around 9.30 last night. Had my usual a few biccies and coffee with 2 sugar. No difference, Another coffee 2 sugar and eventually back to 5.2 before bed

Surprising overnight BG's though as I normally would be around 9+ after that lot, but no, stayed lowish all night 4.5 then 4.2 befofe getting up to 3.3

Lets hope I can keep this below 7 for rest of day. Thats my benchmark now.

Have a great day one and and all
 
Good morning, and I'm 10.8, very restless last night, it could be because I have my Job seeker's/Universal credit, telephone 'interview' this morning :nailbiting:
Hope it's a Happy Tuesday for you all.

Well bit of a damp squid this merry morning woke up with a rather dissappointing 2.8.

But no worries bit of the old tally ho breakfast soon sorted that malarky out.

Now I'm also playing with some new fangled insulin stuff called Apidra, meant to be like that Novasluggish stuff but quicker active.

Now running 8.1 which means the old BSL has some what jumped up quicker than a fine filly after a fine sunny afternoon romp in the hay :pompous:

Oh on a side note, after getting badgered by Mr xDrip @Scott-C ;):hilarious: and her royal purpleness @Mel dCP ;):hilarious: one has dipped his toes into more tech and got a Miaomiao on order.

So with a 'what ho', 'tiddly pip' and a 'what what what!' best do some work :pompous::pompous:
