Oh, shit.

Reason #245 why I shouldn't do important things while I'm distracted:

I took a shot of insulin about an hour ago.

I could have taken:

a) 2 units of Humalog - what I intended to take, will balance out with what I've eaten so far (soon, hopefully)

b) 25 units of Lantus - a HUGE fuckup, but I think I could manage that over time with a good dose of some simple sugars

c) 25 units of Humalog - which could conceivably kill me if I don't head to the ER before I pass out

Last BGL - 52.  Have had an apple and a bowl of cereal.  Might puke if I eat anything else.  Will retest in 30 minutes, head to ER if no change.  Better go wake Andy up, just in case.

Hope things improve quickly for you! And given the diabetes issue, I couldn't help but put up this icon. It might really be the "dark side". *hug*

You probably feel like shit from the low blood sugar. It reminds me of what I did in the middle of December -- and ended up with a BS of 31 and passed out briefly in my car (thankfully not while I was driving).

Do you have glucose tablets on hand? Or cake icing? The glucose tablets work fairly quickly and are better than eating. Cake icing was recommended, in a pinch, by one of my diabetes nutrition counselors.

These are the tablets. I usually carry this type of 10-pack in my bag to have with me at all times, then have a bottle of 100 at home to restock and have on hand at home.

You probably need a shower by now from the sweating as your body recovers. {{hugs}} and it happens to the best of us.
