Last night I was getting ready for bed when I felt the high blood sugar monster creeping it. I crawled into bed, reached for my favorite bath and body works white tea and ginger lotion, and tested. The verdict? 277 mg/dl.
Grr. Correction bolus delivered, I crawled under the covers to relax before testing again later.
Half hour passes, and I decided to test again. 277 mg/dl, once again. Well, maybe the insulin needs more time. I wait another half hour and test yet again. This time, 300 mg/dl. Umm...what?
This is when I realize that I had spread that lovely lotion all over my hands before commencing this series of tests. I got up, washed my hands, and tested again. 266 mg/dl. That's more like it.
So don't let B&BW fool you. Test before indulging in their yummy lotions. :)
this is one of my biggest pet peeves! I always try to use hand santiziers if I'm not by a sink, but still it's like COME ON!! LOL
