OUCH!

Been there. Done that. Got some dents in my truck to show for it.

You got lucky.
You didn't kill anybody and you are really scared.

Scared is good.
Let your fear motivate you to figure out how you are going to prevent this from happening again.

I had to change my insulin and up my testing quite a bit.
I keep mints in my truck and when in doubt I eat first and ask questions later. The mints are 3 grams of carb each so I know that three of them will generaly pull me up to a good range without sending me crazy high. Gluco tabs are like that too.
My wife knows what I'm like when I'm low. She'll take my keys if she needs to. Just as if I was drinking.

But for me the main things were getting off of the NPH and frequent testing.

You have got to figure out what will work for you.
Soon.
Before your luck runs out!

Tommy
