Lost Infusion Set While Golfing

June 22nd, 2009 by Chris S

Golf 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!
