Normally when I have high blood sugar none of that happens. So I don't know what caused it. But I had cramps and was nauseated and the back of my head was warm and felt tingly and I almost vomited but nothing came up. I didn't have a headache though. Thanks Keri Thanks Natalie!

However, although it says it expires on a certin date, I have some from, um, 1993, I think. My husband used it, and it worked fine, thank Goodness. I can see how you may feel a need to not get it if you live alone, though. That is defnintely a point to ponder. Joan Lori,

However, it has the Canadian food and drug requirements on it, and not the US's. If you look for Canadian pharmacies online, you may find something. That is how I found glucagon, and ordered quite a number of them. Didn't even leave my seat to do it. Came to the door. It is a risk, coming from another country, and mail order to boot, but I am going to see what happens. We have one US glucagon, so my husband will use the Canadian one, and if I don't come back around within the 10 minutes or so it usually takes, he will just fall back on the US one. IF we have to do this experiment, i will let everyone know how it goes. Illegally, Catie, of course. However, it has the Canadian food and drug requirements on it, and not the US’s.

Knock on wood, I haven't had to use it yet. Vicky Just a suggestion about the glucagon, Becky’s dietian recommended we keep the little frosting gels handy, they’re 1 carb each, and work real fast.

Glucagon Canadian, $60 in Canadian dollars, which exchanges even less into US. Joan Mary,

My insurance denied glucagon, saying it was not a necessity. Considering the squad is about 15 minutes away, I respectfully disagreed with that. So, I appealed to the insurance company, only to be denied again. Then I sent a letter to the bureau of insurance in Kentucky, and they spoke with the insurance people. Ultmately, my insurance company will cover only one dose of the glucagon. Hopefully, I won't need it. But, if I do, having the one on hand will buy me time to petition the insurance company to cover more. It would be worth a try with yours, too, regarding the pump. Joan Mary,

I apologize for jumping in with a really personal question, but I know that hormones and menopause can cause some of those symptoms at night. HRT is a biggie (hormone replacement therapy). It seems many times we blame the diabetes for things when the symptoms we have are not related to it at all! It is good you are going to ask your doc. All of us are different, and experience symptoms of a high or low in our own unique ways, but I am not sure that cramps and a headache are signs of a high sugar level. Sounds more like what I mentioned above or just a stomach virus kind thing. I usually call my primary care nurse practitioner to see if there is something going around to rule out the 24 hour bug. When is your doc appointmtent? Joan Good morning, Keri,

But the other night I don't know what happened went to bed fine woke up at 3 am with cramps that hurt and the back of my head was feeling warm. Do you think the head feeling warm could be with something else? I wish there was a way to cure diabetes then there would be no problem like that. Thanks everyone!
