27 Units of Fiasp: The Worst Diabetes Mistake I’ve Made

<p>What happens when you accidentally take <strong>27 units of Fiasp</strong> instead of your long-acting insulin?<br>On this solo episode of We Are T1D, Mike shares the raw, real story of the day he injected the wrong insulin — and how it turned into a full-on Type 1 diabetes survival mission.</p><p>From that heart-sinking moment of realisation, to calling in sick, watching Dexcom arrows like a hawk, finger-pricking nonstop, smashing carbs, and even treating a low with a McFlurry 🍦 — this is a play-by-play of a mistake that could happen to any of us.</p><p>You’ll hear about:</p><ul><li><p>💉 Injecting <strong>27 units of Fiasp by mistake</strong></p></li><li><p>📉 Riding the drop with CGM + finger pricks</p></li><li><p>🥤 Carbs on carbs on carbs (about 250g in total!)</p></li><li><p>📱 How ChatGPT helped guide decisions when the brain was mush</p></li><li><p>❤️ Amber staying on the phone for over an hour, keeping Mike calm</p></li><li><p>🐱 Charlie the cat providing chaos and distraction</p></li><li><p>🎮 A badly timed Apex game</p></li><li><p>🧠 And the lesson that stuck: <strong>don’t be brave — be boring and safe</strong></p></li></ul><p>🗣️ “Don’t be brave.

Type 1 Diabetes: 2 Wins, 2 Breakdowns & a Massive Comeback (Our Most Honest Episode Yet)

<p>This week, we’re diving into <strong>2 wins, 2 breakdowns, and one massive comeback</strong> in our Type 1 Diabetes lives. If you’re here for perfect graphs and flawless time-in-range, you’re on the wrong podcast. But if you want honesty, swearing, laughter, and actual real-life T1D chaos — welcome home. ❤️</p><p>In this episode, we talk <strong>mental health</strong>, <strong>time-in-range battles</strong>, <strong>Libre vs Dexcom drama</strong>, night-time spikes, morning glory (yep, still a thing), and why sometimes the biggest win is just not rage bolusing yourself into oblivion. </p><p><br></p><p>We also bring back <strong>Win of the Week</strong> and admit which one of us is addicted to crisps. Again.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><p>😅 Mike vs Freddy Krueger blood sugars</p></li><li><p>🧠 Jack’s mental reset and climbing out of a rough patch</p></li><li><p>💉 Basal timing, morning injections, and CGM chaos</p></li><li><p>🥘 Bacon rolls, snacks, and late-night biscuit demons</p></li><li><p>📈 Time-in-range face-off (someone wasn’t happy…)</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p><strong>🔥 Quote of the Week:</strong><br>“If you didn’t miss us, you’re not listening anyway — so it doesn’t matter.”</p><p><br></p><p>We’re also bringing back <strong>Listener Wins</strong>, and this time we want <strong>VOICE NOTES</strong> — WhatsApp, Instagram, email, or carrier pigeon. If you send one, there’s a genuine chance Mike will post you a T-shirt he definitely hasn’t printed yet.</p><p><strong>Join the community:</strong><br>🌍 Website: <a href="wearet1d.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://wearet1d.com</a>📩 Email: <a href="mailto:wearet1dpodcast@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">wearet1dpodcast@gmail.com</a><br>📸 Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/t1d_mike" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://instagram.com/t1d_mike</a> &amp; <a href="https://instagram.com/t1d_jack" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://instagram.com/t1d_jack</a><br>💬 WhatsApp Group: <a href="" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://chat.whatsapp.com/KpIK8wSYrpk5sMhUS3g7XU</a><br>🔗 Dexcom One+ Sample: <a href="https://www.dexcom.com/en-GB/dexcom-one-plus-sample" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Here</a></p><p><strong>Hashtags:</strong><br>#Type1Diabetes #T1DLife #DiabetesPodcast #WeAreT1D #T1DCommunity #TimeInRange</p>
