You guys almost lost me......permanently.
Some of you already know, I'm a diabetic. Sunday night i went to bed, feeling pretty good. All of the sudden, i wasn't feeling at all well. Broke out in a sweat head to toe. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't want to say anything to the wife, as she was half asleep, and with all that was going on lately, both of us were short on sleep. I was shaking so bad, it was unreal. I don't know why, but i got up and threw a half sandwich together. My wife was "What are you doing eatting NOW?" I told her i was feeling REAL bad. She said "Test you blood!" I did....it was at 67. I had taken my insulin shot 30 minutes before i went to bed, as i always do. My sugar level must have been too low when i took my shot. Had i fallen asleep, i would have dropped into a diabetic coma, and probably would have died.
"Normal" bllod sugar is 80-120. This is the first time i had this bad of a reaction. Pretty scary feeling.
My wife is STILL pissed at me for letting it get that low. But i had NO idea, as it never happened like this before.
But i'm still here......darn it.

Damn it Cheesey, tell your wife if you're not feeling well!

Good to hear you made it through. It sounds like you didn't change anything about your daily routine yet it still dropped very low?

---

youre NOT getting your shell back.

Cheesey, that had to have been scarry for both of you. I'm glad you are OK. How often do you have to check your sugar level ?

What The Engineer says!!!!!

Glad you are all right. Don't EVER do that again without the express written consent of Major League Baseball or you will be is so much trouble young man.

Speaking in the third-person again, cheesey? Well, I am glad to hear we can all endure that in the future!!

Glad to hear all is well.....

Cheesey says THANKS YOU for all the kind AND funny comments!
(HAD to do it that way!LOL!)
Anyway.......i don't know WHAT happened. Since the move, my blood sugar has dropped quite a bit. I lowered my night time insulin for now, and will be watching it closer. Maybe the stress of where we were livin g was affecting it. It had been running a bit high last time i saw the doc, so he had me increase my meds. Maybe being in a new place will help me get better control of it. I'm SUPPOSED to check the level 3 times a day. But the test strips and lancets are so darned expensive, i have been doing it once a day to try to make them last longer. Even with insurance, with all the meds i have to take, it adds up to quite alot. And my wife still hasn't been cleared to return to work yet.
But i'm doing better.
Trippster........funny you should mention that. 2 weeks ago i was going to ask you for it. The whole "having to move, not knowing where we were going to go" had me at the very end of my rope. I felt pretty hopeless. It's been such a roller coaster for us lately. I'd really like to just veg for awhile and not have to worry. I have been sleeping better. The place is so quiet at night. NOTHING like the place we left. (We were right by 2 bars. ALWAYS noisey)

Again, thank you to my "family" here. You guys (gals) have meant alot to me.
Always seem to be there when i need a shoulder to lean on.

ok - how'd i miss this thread?!? the same thing happened to my ex one night but he didn't wake up - i heard him breathing oddly & thankfully realized what was happening. called the ambulance & his blood sugar was mid 30's. scary, scary stuff. promise me you'll wake her up next time. i meant it - promise me!!!!!

I will Illy.......i DID wake her....although it wasn't my intention. I learned my lesson. She's been hammering me ever since! LOL!
(She's here now.....told me "Tell Julie I will beat the CRAP out of you (Meaning ME) if i ever let that happen again!)
She says she doesn't need the insurance that badly. (Besides, i'm not worth that much life insurance wise)
Oh......and a friend of ours got us a house warming gift!!!A 32 inch HD TV!
First one i ever had!

that's awesome!! the tv AND the quote from lj. LOL! hugs to you both.
