So, I had a b***h of a day with the D.
It was my first day at work since November today, new job, new industry. Retail, not stressful, not real hard. But still, I was nervous, after such a long break and all that.
I woke up this morning with a bg of 13.7 // 267... not happy, because I'd bolused 4 units of novorapid at 3am when I was awake with a bg of 12.4 // 223. Well, I had my lantus, had my novorapid correction and bolused, and ate my toast. Did the usual morning, stuff, and left for my first day, in a mostly good mood.
I was about 10 minutes from the shopping centre when I started feeling odd... kinda fuzzy headed, shaky, sweaty... you know the deal. So, out comes Gump, and bites my finger... oh sh*t... 1.8 // 32. Good thing I had that bag of jelly beans... pity I was shaking so much I couldn't open the **** things!! Well, a nice stranger opened them for me (he probably thought I was a psycho - who cries over being unable to open some candy?!) and I ate them... err... the whole bag, not thinking... 91g of carb... yup, bad...
So, I waited 20 mins, and tested again, and I still felt bad. Worse actually. I could barely read Gumps little face as he told me I was 1.5 // 27 now... I thought, "no bloody way", and pulled out The Imp, to test again. The Imp agreed with Gump... actually, The Imp told me I was 1.6 // 29... not much better!! By this stage, I was sitting at a table at the food court of the shopping centre where work is. I bought a 600ml bottle of sprite, and downed the lot. TBH, I dont even remember getting from the tram to the food court... but I must have done it FAIRLY safely!!
Well, the sprite kicked in, and I felt better, so went and washed up in the bathrooms [I was soooo sweaty
] and headed to work.
About an hour later, I was feeling ill... Nauseous and dry in the mouth and throat. Ducked out the back to test and, Gump said 19.0 // 342. I muttered "******", washed up again, grabbed The Imp and was told... 19.2 // 346. NOT HAPPY. Out came the STUPID flexpen that my stupid dr prescribed instead of the penfill (but thats another story
) and bolused 11 units. Should have brought me down to about 3.7 // 67, but I figured I needed the extra boost cuz I was so high. Nope, still not enough. 2 hrs later, I went on break, and was 12.0 // 216. Another 4 units, and a diet coke, and back to work...
Finished at 5:20, absolutely buggered from such a rough bg day... didnt test, got home, and fell into bed...
Woke at 8pm for dinner, and was 5.7 // 103...
HELLELUJAH!!!!!
(Gump is my trusty Caresens, and The Imp is my new baby, Sensocard... I'm sure you figured out by now that I am odd, and name my meters
)
