Overdose of lantus!

we’re all in this together!

Don’t feel stupid and it’s okay to be scared! You just learned how to deal with a scary situation. We all do it at some point. I’m only a few months in too so you are not alone! Have a great day today!

TODAY is a good day… YOU get to eat DOUBLE what and when you normally do/would. If you don’t want to play that game then there is a lot of regular soda on the menu today.



Try not to make a habiit of it, everyone does this at some point, don’t let it happen again too soon, ok. How you doing???

Hey Stuart — having ice cream right now! LOL
yeah, tummy upset from eating every 2 hours today…but made it through.
Exhausted from staying up all night monitoring levels, tho.

Supposed to have regular lantus dose tonight before bedtime— smh…do i take it?? do i lower the dosage…

Hello Kat:

Get some sleep tonight…

Then lets see if we can find you a new “ritual” so there is no more “double shooting”. Pity it wasn’t short acting, then you could have had some real fun, without the ~tummy whimpering~ later part.

My wife puts pills on the counter top either facing up or down… works pretty good as a system until the cats decide they love the sounds of the pills rattling around in the huge bottle at they turn it into a kitty soccer ball. Or the dog wanting (sic. more) attention, grabbing it off the edge of the counter.

Aside from them, works pretty good.

PS Of course you take your usual normal dose silly!!! >: >

Confession time! I just did it about 4 hours ago! 20 of each in the wrong place. Just hit 2.1! Bother. Still, means that I can eat what I want. NOW!!! Which explains why I could not get moving after my rest.

r u ok?

Yes Kat, thanks. I am fine. I was lower than 2.1. More like 1.1mmols. Sweating and shaking a bit. Lots of sweets, followed by a packet of noodles and I was fine. Just rather tired.

This is why I wish there were different colours for different syringes - say blue for long acting as I take that at dawn and and night, the other could be a totally different colour, say red, for sunshine times, such as during the day.

I have discovered that the way to get them working a bit quicker is to give them above the belly button, usually the quick acting one, but I gave the both above the belly button.
