I completely forgot to inject my 12 units of fast-acting Humalog insulin before lunch. I'm now acutely aware of just how directly a meal without insulin impacts my blood sugar levels and the crucial role insulin plays. Although I frantically tried to correct it in the evening, the rest of the day, leading into the night, became a chaotic rollercoaster of extreme fluctuations.
【Summary】
- Forgetting my 12 units of insulin before lunch led to a rapid post-meal blood sugar spike.
- My lunch consisted of one bowl of rice, a piece of teriyaki yellowtail, kimchi natto, and one broccoli floret, so the main carbohydrate source was essentially the rice.
- The peak value on my glucose graph for this incident shot off the charts, reaching a staggering 476 mg/dL.
- It became clear that eating a meal without insulin can cause my blood sugar to rocket by a massive +325 mg/dL from baseline.
- Noticing the high blood sugar, I administered an additional dose in the evening, but this led to intense fluctuations, with my levels plummeting rapidly overnight.
[Data from Forgetting Insulin Before Lunch]
- Before 1 PM, my levels were very stable, around 130 mg/dL, but immediately after starting my meal, the graph surged with an abnormal, near-vertical climb.
- Just after 4 PM, it reached an dangerously high peak of MAX 476 mg/dL, a level where I could truly feel my body in distress.
- Around 4:30 PM, startled by how high it was, I realized I needed to act and attempted to correct it by administering an additional 2 units of Humalog.
- After 6 PM, once the additional dose began to take effect, my levels reversed course and plummeted rapidly.
