HELP... Having a really rough night

October 1, 2004

Hi all,

Im not sure what to do. I have been having a lot of problems with my

free insulin levels lately

and the endo. has said I am now prediabetic. Im on glucophage and 2

weeks ago the doc increased

my dose as my labs are still way off.

For the past week I have been very nauseated and had a few times where

I was really close to vomiting.

But tonight it wont stop. I am pretty shaky and have a headache and

can't seem to even hold water or

any liquid down.

My question is how do I know when to head to the ER for help? I hate

feeling like such a wimp but I

feel so horrible right now. How will I know if I am getting

dehydrated or when it gets dangerous?

Thanks in advance..
