Monday Night Madness!

FYI: I did give her 2 glucose pills
before taking this picture!

Less than 2 hours before K's BG dropped this low, she was a whopping 362 mg/dl. About an hour and half before that, she was 348 mg/dl - so, in situations like this, when her BG is over 300 and goes up further after insulin correction and no carbs, we assume something is wrong with pump accessories. So, upon the 362 reading, I gave her a shot including dinner insulin, removed the pump to change the insulin, tubing and inset, and hoped for the best.
The insulin from the shot seemed to work: 50 minutes later she was 278, but still too high to eat dinner. After about another half hour, she finally ate dinner (7:30 PM) - but immediately after eating, K moseyed to her room and lay on her bed. I followed her and based on her apparent tiredness (I thought she was about to pass out), told her she could bathe the next morning. I asked her to get up to brush teeth but she said her tummy hurt too much (classic "low" symptom for her). I never thought she'd be low, but, because she did seem rather out of it, I checked her and got the delightful 38 mg/dl reading. I was floored. After two glucose pills, some plum, and candied almonds: she bounced up to a good 119. And I was exhausted and confused.  Oh and did I mention I was single parenting? Yeah, the hubby was in New York for work.
