27 Units of Fiasp: The Worst Diabetes Mistake I’ve Made
Saturday, 20 December, 2025
What happens when you accidentally take 27 units of Fiasp instead of your long-acting insulin?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.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.You’ll hear about:💉 Injecting 27 units of Fiasp by mistake📉 Riding the drop with CGM + finger pricks🥤 Carbs on carbs on carbs (about 250g in total!)📱 How ChatGPT helped guide decisions when the brain was mush❤️ Amber staying on the phone for over an hour, keeping Mike calm🐱 Charlie the cat providing chaos and distraction🎮 A badly timed Apex game🧠 And the lesson that stuck: don’t be brave — be boring and safe🗣️ “Don’t be brave. Be boring and safe.”This episode is honest, emotional, a bit funny, and very real — because diabetes doesn’t care about your plans, your pride, or your Monday morning.If you’ve ever had a near miss, a wrong dose, or a moment where diabetes took over your whole day… this one’s for you.💬 Got a story or tip to share?We’d love to hear from you!📩 Email: wearet1dpodcast@gmail.com🌍 Website: https://wearet1d.com📸 Instagram:Mike → https://instagram.com/t1d_mikeJack → https://instagram.com/t1d_jack💬 WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KpIK8wSYrpk5sMhUS3g7XU🔗 Helpful resource:Diabetes UK – Hypo treatment & safety: https://www.diabetes.org.uk🎧 Don’t forget to follow, rate, and review We Are T1D so more people in the T1D community can find us.
