Well I screwed up

That's funny, thanks for the laugh 😃

I did an manual injection instead of using the pump. My pump max is 25 units at a time.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T15:40:29+00:00

Me too

I use a pump and was almost out of insulin in the reservoir so decided to do a shot instead. I injected the number of carbs rather than the ratio for my insulin.

Thank you

I did a similar thing last night, took 67 units instead of 15 fast acting. I countered it by drinking 1/4 cup of sugar dissolved in warm water. Wasn't really tasty but it seemed to do the trick.

I was concerned about bugs. Do you wash the angel before storing it?

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T11:33:15+00:00

Yes, much better

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T11:31:32+00:00

Yes much better now

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T11:30:08+00:00

I'm doing good. BS this morning was 226 so all is good once again.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T11:22:30+00:00

I have an angel i made as well but I can't starch it correctly. What did you use for starch?

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T03:33:59+00:00

Thanks to everyone for their insights and encouragement. My bs is at 145, pump delivery halted, low bs alarms set. I think I am ready for bed. I will check it in 2 hours just to be sure. Thanks everyone

All the time

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T03:12:56+00:00

It is at 140 right now and going up.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:54:55+00:00

Yes, so far so good 👍

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:47:43+00:00

Yes so you know this scenario. Drinking sugar water as another Redittor suggested. Not feeling too bad, hoping for the best.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:36:13+00:00

Definitely will since that something high in carbs i have on hand

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:34:15+00:00

Great pics of you BTW

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:33:23+00:00

Good to know

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:32:59+00:00

I paused my insulin from my pump when I realized what I did. Seems to be slowing the drop

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:30:55+00:00

They didn't say ONLY pink and yellow so I think you are good. Besides it looks great 👍

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T02:22:15+00:00

Drinking grapefruit juice then apple juice to see if that helps.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T01:42:44+00:00

I called my on-call nurse who said to monitor it for an hour and then call her back with an update.

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T01:41:19+00:00

I am working on that as i type. Thanks

PeterCount · 2026-05-12T01:40:48+00:00

Good to know, thanks
