Now I’m wondering whether you are amazed at the number or stupified?!!!! hehe

Now, Carol, see where your thoughts have taken us?? hehe Judith

12 minutes?!?!

The squad came, along with a police officer, and they tried to get me to eat one of those glucose tabs. yuck. I would not eat it. Then they tried Mountain Dew. No way. Then pepsi. That was ok with me. The store gave me a cheeseburger and fries. By then, I knew I could not take in that many calories, so I asked the cop if I could just eat the fries. He said it was not negotiable, I had to eat all of it.

The meter the squad has registers down to 12. My sugar would not register. One thing my OB said to me was that if the sugar is usually well controlled and low, then really lows won’t effect us as much. Guess he was right.

Judith,

I’ve never really thought about renting out my services, but I’d be glad to give you a few pointers on how to win friends and influence people! <grin

I have seen Becky at 14, still running around on a playground. I told the group we were with to keep an eye on her, don’t let her slow down, I was going for OJ. I was gone just a few minutes, came back and made her drink it, and sit still for a while, she came back up fine.

i dont recall putting blame on anyone. i mentioned that after 22 years it has never happened to me.

Hey, guys….slow down a sec……just cuz Michelle passed out & ended up in a coma with a BG of 29 doesn’t mean that she is necessisarily (sp?) doing anything wrong…..I’ve had my sugar suddenly drop a huge amount for no definite reason *and* we need to remember that we all react differently to diabetes. I know you guys probably didn’t mean it that way, but we don’t want Michelle to feel like we think she is to blame. As we are all too well aware….things happen. (OK, if I’ve PO’d anyone, I’m sorry….but we’re here to be supportive, not place blame.)

(Hopping off the soapbox…..)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh diabetes comedy… diabetes humor…. a very funny thing….. apparently we’re thinking on the same page… my wife will be happy to hear I’m not alone in my sillyness <ggg

As for water… sure, dehydration occurs when we start spilling ketones. Basic care when sick, drink fluids to prevent dehydration, lesson some of the effects of ketones if/when they occur. It IS possible to drink excessive quantites of water in general and cause icky things to happen to the kidneys, etc., etc… but to get there I’d think the amounts would be pretty blessed extreme…. by any standard.

But drinking water in general… good idea….

Thank you for the diabetic humor, no matter what time of day it is funny!

I make my daughter drink crystal light and water all day long to keep her kidneys healthy, but I don’t know if it is fact or fiction or left over form the hospital stay when they were forcing liquids to avoid ketones.

I do know that when we travel long distances if we don’t force feed liquids and stop to exercise every 90minutes or so. She is “high” with a trace of ketones when we arrive.

Would love to hear everyones opinions.

Thanks for caring and sharing,
