Super Bolus By Mistake - Scarry Stuff! Well - Yesterday evening I ate my spaghetti nothing special - same amount I usually eat. I go to bolus right after I eat, except this time I feel a different sharp pain when I stick my needle in my stomach. Looking back now - I know that I was flexinging and apparently injected right into an abdominal muscle.
10 - 15 minutes later - I start to see stars, feel like I was floating and knew for sure something was not right at all. I test to find myself at 2.4 mmol/l or 43.2 mg/dl.
Since DX - I may have dropped that low once. I started to pound the juice in. After 3 Juice Boxes, an Oreo Cookie, and a Muffin, I worked it out to be about close to 100gs of Carbs I finally got up to 7.0 mmol/l or 126 mg/dl.
Thank god for my wife - as I'm not sure I would have been able to fight that battle myself.
Still being new to the D - not yet a year with it - I have to say that it was a rather unpleasent experience and hope not to go though it again anytime soon.
