Yesterday I was in a situation that kept my blood sugar high. It was totally out of my control and was completely unpredictable.
So setting a temp basal was out of the question.
I had no idea when it would end, or how it would end.
Basically I was screwed.
It was hard on both me and the dog. She kept alerting that I was high. I kept testing and adjusting my blood sugar – I believe this may be called “rage bolusing”. The good news is that I was just at the edge of my high range. Nothing super dangerous, just really annoying.
I know if I get into this particular situation again, the best thing is to just walk out of it – walking out would have not changed the outcome, but it would have not endangered my own health or outset the dog. All we can do is learn.
The best news- keeping your blood sugar in range keeps the diabetes alert dog happy.
