It was about a week ago, I was enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon and evening when late that evening I started feeling ill. I thought it was nothing, so I ignored it and went on with what I was doing, I had not been taking good care of my Dlife lately so I am sure alot of my problems are due to my own neglect. Well I got this intense feeling of nausea and ran directly to the bathroom, next thing you know I was throwing up repeatedly, three times to start. Once it stopped I thought thank God that was over, and went into the living room to recover and watch TV. Thirty minutes later, without eating anything I felt the same feeling and ran right back into the bathroom and kept throwing up, I told my wife to call 911, since she had an expired drivers license and couldn't drive me to the Hospital in our van anyway.
The Ambulance arrives, the medics get me to lay down on the stretcher as they strap me in. They load me in the back and prepare to begin a IV and test my blood sugar, it was 289!!!!! YES 289!!!
I am feeling horrible, staring at the light above me and wondering what was causing this, realizing also that my control over my diabetes was not even partial..... I knew then laying in the Ambulance that I needed to fix things and big time fix them at that! I arrived at the hospital and see a Doctor right away, which was a surprise to me, cause I never saw any doctors before when I was there, I knew there were Doctors there but just never saw one, was always Nurse Practitioner, but bottom line was he told me I need to do better and it has stuck. I threw up another time and now have it in my mission to control my Diabetes better!
