Hello everyone:
First of all, tell you that I am a user of an insulin bomb, and although I have put the same in that forum, I also wanted to comment here in case it serves someone.This time I wanted to share with you what this weekend happened to me, in which I had a "little-great forgetfulness" that made me outbound.
The fact is that we went with some friends to eat a town at 30 km.Where we lived and when I went to put the bolus .... they crossed out ..... I had taken the dressing completely with the consequent exit of the catheter.In those moments I was pale no .... the following, since I fell in those moments that I had not brought the Humalog Pòr ball if perhaps and did not have a spare team, so I was without insulin and with almost foodAt the table ....... and there began my journey ......
A friend of ours (who was at food) is a doctor, so we took the car, we went to her house that was close to the restaurant, thank God, she took the SS recipe book and made me a Humalog recipe.The scare was removed and with a relaxation face he took us to the only pharmacy on guard that was open ..... what is our surprise when the pharmaceutics jumps us:
- I don't have that insulin, the orders are until 13.30 and on top of each other we are on vacation, that is, I cannot do anything, I'm sorry !!!
I believe that I died !!!!!And my medical friend's face was worse.Before I panic, he told me not to worry, that as in the town there is no hospital, the ambulatory had urgencies and that they surely put the dose that I needed and after eating, more calmly, I could gohome to change the team ..... ha ha ja naive of us ...
We arrive at the emergency room and the nurse tells us that they have no insulin, but that it will confirm it.He comes out with an Actrapid road and tells me that it is the only thing he has ..... Since I have never put on that insulin and I don't know how I could react ..... I have no choice but to leave my friend in theRestaurant, who is all eating and my husband and I travel the 30kms.That we had to our house to be able to change the team, click and eat.But not without the consequent digust and the consequent crying for carelessness (it is that I am of easy tear).The most ridiculous thing is that when I arrived at my house I was in 75, I don't know whether to walk so much or nerves ......
Anyway, I know that it is an unforgivable carelessness and that it fulfills it is mine but it seems really outrageous that in a "guard" pharmacy that is supposed to be for emergencies, they leave me lying.And even more outrageous than in an ambulatory, where they have an emergency office because the closest hospital is 10-15 km.They have nothing more than an actrapid road .......
I have certainly learned the lesson ...... It will not happen to me again or leave the house without the ball.And in the hypothetical case that I would happen again ...... and my house was far away ....... direct to the emergency department of the nearest host.It will not occur to me to waste time trying to solve it in another way.
