Why you should alway test (or, Deus remembers the obvious)

[DeusXM]

Erg! Once again I remember the value of testing, and not just going on how your body feels. Felt really thirsty earlier this afternoon, like I was running really high. So I stuck in 4u of Novorapid, which usually sorts me out.

Of course, it's more than sorted me out, hasn't it? Turns out I was just dehydrated, because right now I'm having one of the worst daytime hypos I've had for a very a long time. Let's just hope the bar of Turkish Delight and the yoghurt I've just eaten do the job, eh?

LOL, I've done that. If I am thirsty or have the urge to do "#1" reeeeal bad, I feel like I am high. Whether or not I actually am.

:whistling

Too many coffees do the same. :coffee: Also my dawn phenomenon, all those hormone things in my bod, can make me feel astronomically high. I know from experience I can never trust how I feel when waking up.

Yes, I have done the same. Nothing worse then jabbing 3 or units of Humalog in, THEN deciding to test to see how high I really am, only to find 4.8 flashign back at me.

D'oh!

Sorry, I don't want to sound like a git, but how can you just inject without knowing where you are and knowing how much to inject?

Easy.

Laziness. And thinking that we know our bodies. Occasionaly, it's becasue I have my pen, but no metre.

I try to avoid this now, but it has happened occasionaly to me.
