Who knows how long it was elevated before the symptoms occurred..... I was 8 years old then.

You know from your nursing courses (RN2B), that you have every right to refuse any medication or any Tx the medical people may want to do. Whether or not you turned off your pump, we are all only human, and things are going to happen. It is not worthy of stressing over. Consider it a lesson learned, to check your pump if your sugars are high. Now that the pump is working correctly, (turned on), you should be able to get a hold on the sugars again. Lantus is not going to do any immediate good, anyway. If your sugars were that high, then humalog would have been the appropriate action, however, it cannot be given IV, but R can. Jenny, there is nothing wrong with you. It is normal to feel down at times, and the Tx you received in the ER did not help with your mental status. Are you on any meds for your depression? I firmly believe, that when sugars go high, it influences depression significantly. Did the depression get any better when you got things back in hand? Is there someone with you? Someone with whom you can talk? Where are you now? Jenny, I will keep you in my prayers this evening. Please keep up posted on how you are, and just what, exactly, the docs are wanting you to do. We can all listen quite well. My thoughts are with you, Jenny. Whatever thy hands find to do, do it with all thy might. Ecc. 9:10 Joan Geohegan Hi, RN,
