A question: What do I do if I wear fast insulin by error instead of the slow?

happened to me for the first time ... more than 10 years with diabetes and it had never happened to me, but well ...

In my case I put 32 of Tresiba (in the morning) and between 8-10 of FIASP (ultra-grape insulin) in each meal, in addition also taken the Jardiannce a day (also in the morning).

I got up as always to go to work, I measured with the sensor, but I remember badly I had 140 or so.I took the insulins and had to go to the fridge for one of slow because the one I had, had not enough units.So I said: I get the quick first and now I go for the slow one.

Well, my newly raised mind I don't know what would happen to him that he was confused and Pam 32 of Fiasp on his leg ... When I saw the color red instead of the green I almost got my heart (the two bolis are physically the same just just changes their color)

I didn't know what to do, if going to work, controlling me a lot, going to the health center or emergency ... I talked to my mother and finally we went to emergency for preventing.
Of course, before leaving home I made a glass of milk with sugar as breakfast.But seeing that the sensor gave me that I was going 120 and going down also half a glass of sugar with water.I measured me every 10 minutes out of fear.

Once there in the emergency room, they left me under observation.My insulin has a duration of 5 hours, making the peak at two hours.When I put it at 8 and little, about 10 and something would have had the beak.But I was fine, I suppose that thanks to everything I put in my body and thanks to the fact that I did not put the slow one I didn't even take the Jardian Pill.

I spend from 9 in the morning until approximately 15 there.Of all those hours the minimum to what arrives was 80.

So luckily everything is in a scare.But if it happens to you, even if you lose the day/morning/afternoon ..., ID to emergencies!Because in my case what I did at the hospital I could have done it in my house, yes, but we never know what can happen to us ... So better prevent.

I went to the Emergency Department, because the same thing happened to me with 30 of Novorapid instead of Toujeo, and neither observation nor anything.The doctor told me that he was eating and taking sugar and I was watching me.Yes, I carry the freestyle3, but I was surprised that they did not put it serum or anything.Total, that I endured three hours with four sugar mills every quarter of an hour, a fabada with half a bread bar, a liter of Coca-Cola and a "musician" enterito ...

Well today happened to me.I think it's the first time in 30 years.I was having watching a very funny series.

I punctuate the fast before eating and when at the end I am going to wear the slow one, as I was seeing the series I have looked, I look at the ball and I see that I have clicking the fast again, instead of the slow one.

As I sulked almost the same as slowly, I have scared, but not so much.Although I had not seen 40 in the glucometer (after an hour)

3 Coca-Cola cans of 37gr of sugar each and I am already at 100. And the insulin action time is over.

I'm glad you could control it, the truth is that it goes wrong.
I still remember when the educator commented to me, that it was carefully and did not confuse the insulins, at that time I thought, that nonsense as I am going to confuse ... and how easy it is to be confused when you go automatic,
