Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Dear Burt, Did you take your Bg with the meter through any of this? My in-laws invited us to breakfast this morning. While it was nice by the time we got to my son's school I was so sick I spent the entire morning sleeping in the truck. Finally got up around noon, but we're only there until 12:30 so it was useless to even go. In fact, I went back to sleep when I got home. So you see it happens to us, even though we try hard. My Bg was up to 293 when I got home. This diabetes " dragon " has to be so carefully taken care of. You change your routine. You get sick. Do you have a meter to check your blood glucose? God Bless You, too . -moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 1999 Report Share Posted April 8, 1999 Burt, Your age has nothing to do with it. There are many diabetics who are much younger than you and who do this. I'm not trying to fuss at you, but this is important. You have to go to your doctor and talk to him/her. Tell him you don't understand all of this. There are diabetic classes he can send you to and diabetic nutritionists that you can learn from. When you were feeling so bad, did you test your BG's? Whenever you feel bad in any way, that is the first thing to do. You could go into a coma if your bg is too high or too low, you must understand how to deal with these things or you could hurt yourself. If you don't have insurance and don't have much money, there are programs that may help you. Ask your doctor about them too. but you have to get the things you need and you have to sit down and understand them.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 1999 Report Share Posted April 8, 1999 Burt, Are you self testing your BG's you really must do that and particularly when you have a spell like this one. You need to know what your BG's are reading. I am on low carb WOE and when I break that and eat higher than normal for me I get sick like you described and sleep all the time too. It take self evaluation and dedication to get along with this disease. You must take care of yourself Ann S Re: last night > > > hello all.. > i am looking for advice on something that really kinda scared me last night > and how u would have handled it or how i oculd have prevented it i guess > last night when i woke up to go to work..my body must haev made alot of > sugar or maybe somewhere i must have drankn alot of something with sugar in > it...but my problems is that it was putting my asleep and made me really > sick..i was in the bathroom..with my head in the bowel..and no matter how > much water i drank to try to flush my system out the sugar was not leaving > my body..my body ached really bad..and all i did so far to day was sleep..i > have sleeped about 9 hours since i have been home fomr work and i fee a > little better but i am still sleepy ll i have been doing is drinking > water...and since i have joined this list and a few chats with meenie..i > have been watching my diet so much since now i know what to eat and all..and > i ahve been trying to read everyones posts but i don;t understand them > all..and i feel really dumb baout it beucase i don;t want to be a dibetic > and i never listen to the doc or undersdtand what hes telling me beucase i > guess of my age and i am scared..but if anyone could tell me what they would > ahve done or if they have ever had a problem like that...or if anyone could > help me understand what the doc tells me or what everyone talks about on the > lsit beucae i don;t understand it > thanks for ur time or sounded bad i jsut don;t understand being a dibetic > thanks for ur help > and god bless u all > burt > > > > > _______________________________________________________ > Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > New hobbies?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 Burt, BG's are your blood glucose readings. And low carb means foods with lower carbohydrates ... breads, potatoes, rice, and pasta are higher carb foods. Atkins is only one of many low carb food plans. There is also Sugar Busters, Berensteins, TheZone.... and others.
