[IPk] Mysterious occurrence.... any explanations ?
This was originally sent last Monday but for various reasons it bounced so
I'm re-sending.
How can a cannula be displaced when the site dressing is still firmly in
situ?
This happened to me yesterday evening when I was feeling increasingly unwell
and tested to find my bgs were at 20.9! Previous test was 8.8 and this was
after a rare pasta treat!
The cannula was flapping around in the air and the patch was firmly in place
where it had been since the site change on Thursday evening.
I changed sets and bolused - heavily for me i.e. two separate lots of 4
units - then my bgs started down and I didn't hypo.
This morning back to more usual and healthy 5.4mmol/l.
Anyone else had this happen? And out of curiosity, how could it?!!!
Rhoda (who would blame David Blaine except he's in that perspex box over
London Bridge!"
