I've been on the pump 8 years now and I've yet to meet another pump that a) wears her/his pump in their dreams and b) actually "boluses" in their dream (when eating). Please, tell me I am not alone! :)
The day I got my pump on I went to a frozen yogurt shop in my dream and bolused before I ate. No dream has happened like that since, though.
no, cant say that i can recall ever taking insulin in a dream, but i sure have taken insulin while dreaming not knowing it...and that's how you end up with a 12 BG reading!! no bueno
usually in my dreams i'm not diabetic. or at least diabetes never comes up in my dreams.
Courtney- Ok, that counts!!! :)
@timtr Ouch! I'm assuming this is while on a pump, yes? I'd love to hear that story!
@c Interesting. I hope this discussion hasn't changed that. :)
I've never taken insulin in a dream that I can remember. Maybe D isn't totally taking over my life like I think it is. (;
I think a few times in my sleep when I'm half awake, I was dreaming I got tested or something and I have either bolused or suspended the pump, and then I wake up with either a really high or low number! Probably not the best idea!
@Sarah The dreams where I am wearing my pump and/or bolusing are very normal and boring ones. I just happen to have taken my pump with me to dreamland. :)
@Kelly Jones Yikes! To clarify: I've never actually physically bolused while dreaming. I just wear my pump in my dreams and if we are eating, I of course bolus for it. And somehow I know the exact carb count!! :)

I have done this too. Now I make sure I lock the keypad before going to sleep!
A lot of my dreams involve my daughter and her being diabetic.
