Lost Infusion Set While Golfing
July 9th, 2009 by Chris SGolf this weekend was an adventure, to say the least. I put a sensor on Friday night so I could keep track of the levels of my sugar throughout the whole 18 holes. I went early to go to the driving range, which was a bad idea in itself because I used up all of my bad shots. It was 7:30 a.m. and about 90 degrees already. Some from constantly bending over to tee up a new ball and the sweat, my sensor decided that it didnt want to stay on any longer.
Hmmm, if the sensor didn’t want to stay on, I could only imagine the plans that my infusion set had. Luckily, the night before I thought it may be a good idea to bring another infusion set and iv pads and dressings and my insertion device. Hole # 2, infusion set falls out. I tested my sugar multiple times and it was staying steady around 120-140. I made it to about the 8th hole where there ending up being a bathroom so I stopped in quickly and re-inserted the infusion set. This one actually stayed in the rest of the course.
The group behind us caught up to us a little bit because of that stoppage, but oh well, that’s what happens when you play golf with a diabetic!
Well, have a great day everybody!
