I've had problems with getting too insulin in my system — and I did during the pump failure. I took the choice of dosing every 4 hours. One option I have been thinking of is trying one of the new long acting insulins, but I did not this round. Even with dosing every four hours, I slipped up — I forgot to eat lunch, or didn't even plan for it, and went low doing dog agility. I was able to fix it, but just didn't plan for the whole incident. It is something I should get better at, but it probably won't happen since I've been living this way for decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
