I’m working through some feelings, and honestly I don’t even know why I’m sharing this other than I need to get it out, and I’m interested in the perspective of anyone who might have felt similar / had a comparative experience.

Firstly, medically, I am fine. I really am. I’ve felt rough for a couple of days but I’m tough as boots and I bounce back quick.

I’m type 1 #diabetic (over 30 years) and on Monday I accidentally injected 18 units of fast-acting #insulin instead of slow-acting. I would never normally take more than 4 units of fast in one go, ever. As you can imagine, my body wasn’t keen on this and I had a hypoglycaemic crisis which also caused me to go unconscious. A few hours later and after a truly ridiculous amount of glucose, I was “back to normal” as much as possible.

But in the event, it was terrifying. It wasn’t just a whoops, it was a holy shit. It was an all round bad time for everyone involved, including my family. And like, I’ve had this disease for almost all my life. I *know* that the thing I take to keep me alive can also have the reverse effect. I *know* it was a stupid mistake, but it was just a mistake. I’ve taken steps now to make sure it can’t happen again.

But my feelings about it are… weird. I’m grateful it was a short-term event and I came out okay. I’m grateful to the ambo people and the hospital who were kind and supportive. I love my family very, very much. I just feel so wonky about it all. To make such a small mistake that could have had such monumental consequences. Eugh. I am not sure how to unpack it and sit with it in a way that resolves it. My usual process is “acknowledge it, be thankful, get back on the horse”. Which I guess is really the only sensible way as I still need to inject every day and I can’t let it get in my head.

No platitudes please as not needed, but advice on managing my emotions so they don’t feel like spiky weasels would be super useful.

So, China has managed to cure a type 1 diabetic of her diabetes using stem cell therapy.

That's pretty awesome.

Is there anyone here who knows their way around Doha and knows where and how to get infusion sets (Orbit micro) for the mylife YpsoPump?
Please feel free to boost this post. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here.

Ok folks. Please hit me with your best lower carb, #keto #diabetic friendly ramen choices.

For pasta dishes I've used carbo-nada, but I really miss a good ramen.

Heck even a "just add hot water" ramen in a cup product would be awesome.

Any thing good to fill that ramen niche?
