Very High Blood Sugar - Type I diabetic & forgot insulin ! Posted: 08-24-07 18:40pm
hi all i am a type one teenaged diabetic
in need of some assistance.
ok so yesterday at lunch, i went to subway
and ate there without my insulin, about 5
minutes from home. i started eating and
then when i got home, i completely forgot
to take my insulin, so at dinner at 7:15,
i had a 543 blood sugar. im kinda freaked
out right now because i have a race
tomorrow (i run cross country for my high
school) and ive never been that high
before. ive been diabetic for 10 years and
i was just wondering for my biggest slipup
i can remember in the years ive been
diabetic, what are the negative effects of
my mistake? i took a lot of insulin to
correct it but will my race suffer
tomorrow? is there anything else that will
happen? i experienced no symptoms before
checking it by the way. A sooner response
would be best. thank you very much.

hi there
ive been type 1 for 19yrs now and a one
off high blood sugar will cause you no
probs what so ever long term. It would if
you continued to be high. Regarding the
running that just depends on how you are
feeling. Has the insulin made you feel ok
again? If so you will have no problem
