Hi,
OK. Don't panic. Just keep an eye (a little closer than you normally would.) on yer BGs then correct any highs with the Nova if appropriate?
Was it a new needle with the lantus? I'm not sure what your personal dose is, but I'm confident more went in than out.
Do you use disposables pens or the reusable AllStar pro for lantus?

Supermarket expeditions sometimes get me like that too?
But no shopping today.
Oddly, thought it was the heat changed into my shorts from my work wear. & sat out front.
A very light G&T perusing the forum and then, hello?!! Sweating, has the nominal amount of gin hit me that hard?
2.6... Back up at 6 now.
Lol, I haven't even had dinner yet, (planning a Greek salad, so no basal in the system yet...The heat does make me insulin sensitive.

I use 15 units of lantus with 7 Humalog in the evenings.

Morning all!
Not a hypo here, though I came close a couple of times yesterday Yes! Mid-afternoon Party Samosa conquered along with students eying the samosa up then asking if I had my injection as they didn't see me leave the room, which I do if the room is busy or crowded.
However definitely the lowest FBG ever in Japes world! Combination of heat and back in usual evening post-meal walking routine properly now is my educated guess. Or staying up very late doing a bit of very nostalgic research which may also involve getting out the case of paperwork from the 1980s. I'd idly googled the name of the French pen-friend I'd had from the time we were both involved in school French exchanges, had lost contact with after we both left uni, other than an occasional Christmas Card, which stopped in the late 90s. then what I found sent me down a rabbit warren of frustrating hints of information in trying to work out just if and when she died. (I think in a pre-social media and ubiquitous internet era,)

I think I'd rather have had the RE and Music!! Good luck!
Me, I've got to coax two reluctant souls through the very last of their written work which may also involve me struggling not to speak my mind freely and frankly about what the heck other colleagues have been doing whilst sat next to them "supporting" for the hours I know they've been chatting about anything other than English or Maths.

Starting the day at a happy 5.3
Busy work morning then this afternoon I have an afternoon of sorting into donate/chuck/keep and the keep pile had better be small. I don't have much space in the craft room to try and fit it into. Also read an excellent piece of advice - if you own more stuff then there is storage for it, the answer is not "buy more storage"; it is "you have too much stuff". Wouldn't work for everyone, but it works for me.

I don't lower my basal but I do run a slightly different ratios, so that I allow 1 for 4 or 5g at breakfast instead of 1:3 and increase the lunch and dinner ratios too.

Morning everyone,
Is the sky going to clear or did summer just happen yesterday while I was working? I don't like London underground it's smelly and the people are smelly too.
@Robinredbreast I think I must have been climbing Everest too, smacked Madam's 17.2 just now and waiting.
On something else...........Has anyone got any idea how/when/why to bolus for protein? No idea what to do about this but think because I eat a fair amount in comparison to carbs, think I need to get some info and do some reading.
Thoughts and links would be nice
Enjoy Friday

@SueJB - I'm pretty sure I read that you bolus but at half the rate you would for carbs ie. instead of 1:5 or whatever, use 1:10
I think either @helensaramay or @Mel dCP know about this - or may be more certain than I as to how it's done. Not something I do and judging by results, so far I don't need to (thankfully).
See @Diakat has posted with info already. Yay!
