[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 2067935, member: 119069"] Greetings my fellow pumpers and prickers, its been a while. I have just returned from my 2 week jolly to Turkey and decided to save any grief at airport to go back to MDI and ditch the pump for a few weeks. My BG over the 2 weeks was not good at all, generally running high or very high which in the main was caused by an incident one night. I had got back to aprtment around midnight, did Libre check and BG was around 8.5. Went to bed and woke around 3am with BG heading down at 6.5. Got up took a couple of biccies and back to bed. Half an hour later BG now at 5.2, heading down. Took 200 ml of coke and back to bed. Half hour later BG now at 4.2, oops so another 300 ml of coke and back to kip. 20 mins later BG now down to 3.7. Now panicking and have handful of jelly beans, 10 mins later BG still at 3.7. Went for more coke took one sip and then it happened. Broke out in cold sweat and suddenly was sick all over the place, real projectile vomiting. BG had now dropped to 3.4 and I am now in full panic mode. Found my packet of Dextrose, the first time I had bought a packet in over 30 years. Scoffed most of packet and finally around 15 minutes later my BG was starting to go up. I could not go through that again or put my poor wife through that. So for rest of holiday ran fairly high. Back to pump this morning and its good to be back to near normal BG Hope you all had a good couple of weeks. PS if you do go somewhere sunny and have a Libre make sure you work it out so that you change this after 7 days to avoid a wee non tanned area on your arm [/QUOTE]
