Very scary. And ...Yes, a big big bolus is scary!! Very scary. And sometimes it's best to err on the side of less insulin and just correct down later if you have to. Because taking a big bolus and then crashing hard is a much worse situation to be in - especially at Breakfast With Santa!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-66339483946192860992010-12-05T18:42:11.608-05:002010-12-05T18:42:11.608-05:00Ah yes...the BIG bolus!!!

I would have assumed the insulin would never act quick enough to catch the OJ and a 106 is close enough to "going low" for us soooo I would have shot it short too! Now we do have McD's on Wednesday nights (Happy Meal after dance) and McD's breakfast at least once a month...so I have a pretty good lock on what McD does to our little D girl! I wouldn't suggest the syrup they give you, we carry the sugar free (or low sugar) syrup with us if we do pancakes! ((hugs)) don't feel too bad though, you can't catch them all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-64995430333455838612010-12-05T09:56:17.454-05:002010-12-05T09:56:17.454-05:00Oh Penny..I totally get that!

I would have done the same thing as you did..and you know..I would rather have to correct the high then send my boy crashing down!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578777299563079924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-12496984901648789602010-12-04T22:56:37.706-05:002010-12-04T22:56:37.706-05:00Been there, done that!

Better to correct a high then to treat a bad low (at least that is what I think)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490374648906561675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-38336992304371618352010-12-04T18:34:35.209-05:002010-12-04T18:34:35.209-05:00I hate second guessing myself in situations like t...I hate second guessing myself in situations like that Penny. I always tend to go "light" on the insulin too. "I'm a SAFETY girl!"
