Type 1 (juvenile) diabetic.
Ate late last night.
Ate a pot gummy while listening to some tunes.
Forget to shoot insulin. Went to sleep. Woke up with glucose at 310. Shot normal basil dose of long term insulin. Shot 1/2 normal dose of pre-breakfast short term bolus.
Took the garbage out (which is a 30 minute job around here because I do a bunch of other stuff routinely on garbage day), then worked on some yard clean-up for about 30 minutes.
Started feeling sick. Looked at the remaining mulch pile. Looked like it was undulating.
Uh oh.
Sat right down on the driveway and started laughing hysterically. Tried not to pass out, but I think I might have for a few seconds. Sat there for awhile, came in the house, puked. Glucose dropped from 310 to 72 in only one hour. 72 is not dangerously low, but the rate of the drop was dangerous.
EVERY time I do ANYTHING except sit still in a chair, my glucose drops like that. It's a pain in the ass. Now, my brain is going to be all scrambled up for about 6 hours.
YAYYYYYY!!!!
I'm sure some of you Type 1s out there can relate.
Have a nice day.
