So when I lost my Bikram V plates I was 18 on leaving. This is pretty standard after a gym session with the liver releasing glucose for your muscles that are screaming out for energy. Fine. However, 4 hours later I was up at 22… What the fuck?! I was thirsty, tired and my vision was a little blurred. I put it down to something to do with last day of insulin cartridge, so I changed my cannula.

But today (only blooming 6 days later) the penny dropped. I am in a room of 43 degrees and 50% humidity, of course my insulin in the cartridge is “gone off”

There is no such thing as an insulin that can’t behave identically to what the human body, normal human at least, produces.

Next session I will be leaving my pump outside in my shoes so I can continue using the same cartridge and not waste the insulin, cartridge and canella!!
