Bit of a nightmare today, well seeing as I have them at night why not during the day too! :/
1am went to pee
3am got up to pee
4am woke up to pee.... How I didn't suss anything was wrong at this point I don't know! Maybe too groggy/sleepy but anyway woke up as normal felt awful, blurred vision and knew something was off so I checked my sugar... 21.3 fuck!!
I'd also had/still have some other health problems and had been ill the past week so thought maybe it was a recovery thing but the fact I then remembered this was my 4th pee in a short time I did start to worry! I had some important plans this morning so just decided to leave it for now and if it got worse or higher I would get some help!
I tried to think of reasons that it could be but I was tired and couldn't really think straight not to mention my tummy rumbling due to not eating as my sugars were so high!
I posted on facebook for help and a few of my diabetic friends had some good suggestions about changing insulin cartridges so I looked in my bag to have a glance at my pens and as I check one of them my hands were wet.... With insulin! The bottom of the cartridge was shattered and insulin was leaking out everywhere.... 
This had never happened before and I was so shocked that I hadn't noticed it! Nearly 5 years a diabetic and didn't even notice, well now I was feeling very stupid! I was however happy that I ha found the reason and I wasn't going to die :)
Picked up some new insulin and sugars slowly started to come down, I still feel a bit rubbish and very stupid but alls well that ends well I guess!
