A 436 Bloodsugar, Lots Of Patience & Non Letting It Ruin My Sunday

An apeshit high blood carbohydrate does non accept to ruin your Sunday, #fact.
#######
I'm non certain how the 436 blood sugar happened - All I know is that I went to bed on Sat black alongside a novel infusion site, 24 units left inwards my insulin pump, a bgnow of 200 together with a correction bolus of two units - And I should accept been golden.

Cut to sun morning time at 8:30 am when I woke upwards alongside a raging headache, a blood carbohydrate of 436 together with moderate ketones. I position inwards a novel infusion site together with a build novel reservoir, did a correction bolus of 10 units ( including a bolus for my morning time coffee,) drank a huge drinking glass of H2O together with thence to a greater extent than or less other one... And  I waited.
Because seriously, what else could I do?

While waiting I had fourth dimension to intend where it all went wrong.
Was it the infusion ready that had caused my blood carbohydrate jam up, or was it the xxx grams of Eddy's lowfat vanilla icedcream I'd had after my depression carb bowl of chicken soup without rice that I'd eaten for dinner on Sat night.
Maybe it was those lastly 24 units of insulin inwards my reservoir - Had they somehow gone bad??
Did my infusion site somehow larn slightly ajar inwards the core of the night?
Maybe it was to a greater extent than or less quadruple threat combo of all of the above.

Or perhaps it was diabetes flipping it's bitchswitch only because it could.

So I gave myself a pep talk: This rarely happens Kel, thence live grateful it happened on a weekend - Chillout together with don't freak, And you lot know what? OK, every bit empty-headed every bit it sounds, live glad this diabetes WTFedness happened on a sun instead of a function day. 
I continued to drinkable water, flipped the channels betwixt CBS sun Morning & Animal Planet, chatted close crazy blood sugars on draw of piece of employment (and for the record, I was non the entirely ane blowing blood carbohydrate gaskets left together with right - See the diabeteslalicousness facebook page,) and only tried to relax.
I refused to larn upset because I knew the minute I went apeshit, my numbers would buy the farm fifty-fifty to a greater extent than apeshit. Even every bit my blood carbohydrate jumped to 450 I reminded myself that it was because of the coffee. "A xiv indicate growth after java is zip - it volition buy the farm dorsum down," I told myself every bit I rage bolused two units together with thence jumped inwards the shower together with got dressed. I had plans together with I wasn't going to modify them because of diabetes, but I did demand to force them dorsum a bit.
I read a mass together with checked my blood carbohydrate in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than an hr together with fifteen minutes afterwards - it was 289, past times tiffin fourth dimension I was 205 with normal keytones and past times 2pm I was 135.
I ate a yogurt together with didn't bolus for it, grabbed my H2O bottle together with hopped inwards the automobile together with dialed my temporary basal charge per unit of measurement dorsum to 40%.
I had a 50 infinitesimal drive ahead of me & I didn't desire to live overwhelmed alongside insulin swimming through my veins.
I hovered betwixt 120 together with 135 for the residue of the afternoon. I spent the residue of the solar daytime visiting alongside my family, did a Trader Joe's pit halt together with finally drove dorsum to my solid alongside my temporary basal charge per unit of measurement dialed dorsum at 50%,

By the fourth dimension I drove domicile together with emptied out my automobile it was 10mm.  I crawled into bed and my blood carbohydrate was 190 - But I wasn't surprised because I'd dialed my heart dorsum for the ride home. I did a correction bolus together with this morning time I was 102.
Why am I telling you lot this?? 
Maybe it's because I know you lot guys "get it," no thing what. And perhaps I'm proud that I was able to relieve my sun - And that diabetes didn't accept the upper mitt for long, fifty-fifty when it looked similar it rattling good could have
