This post is really a reminder to myself in the future
My latest experiment was to put a site on my hip. Slightly awkward to put in but comfy in place.
Lunchtime yesterday, no delivery. Fiddled around with tube, tried again everything fine.
Early evening, BS a bit high for me at 150 so did 30 minutess on the Nordik ski machine. BS ,now 41. Start to eat asap. Try to give bolus, no delivery. Try again no delivery.
Disgruntled (and hungry) go to change site. Mind in neutral, ignoring the awkwardness of the site put cannula in opposite hip. BS at bedtime rather high for me but stayed level overnight. Fasting at 101. Breakfast 2 hours later BS 235. (thats the highest reading since I was in hospital 3 years ago).
When I checked the cannula was completely out. Presumably it had been in by its tip overnight but came out as soon as I moved this morning.
Lessons learned:
1) Don't change site whilst hypo. If I'd have finished eating I might have put it in more efficiently.
2) Choose sites that I don't need acrobatics to see and put in properly.
3) I really do have diabetes. I've sometimes wondered what would happen if I didn't take my insulin. Perhaps my beta cells would have had a good rest and now take over, sadly they didn't.
