So I had a cold over the weekend and it messed up my blood sugar pretty badly. So on tuesday I could not get my blood sugar below 500 all day and for the past three days it hadnt been under 400. so I called my specialist shirley and she said that if I couldnt get it down within the next four hours to go to the hospital. I didnt want to go at all because i wasnt sure what they could do for me but what shirley says goes... so I waited for my roommate to come home from work and she took me since my sugar was obviously to high to drive. when we got there the lady at the front desk asked my why I was there and I said my blood sugar was over 600 and she looked at me and asked if that was high or low... I was like are you kidding me its suppose to be 80... I was annoyed lol. but they got me right in and started me on an IV which the nurse had problems with. first she tried to do the top of my hand and hit a nerve which hurt sooo bad. then she tried the side of my wrist and couldnt get it there... then she tried the inside of my right elbow and couldnt get it there by then I was like give me the needle I will do it... and then she finally got the inside of my right elbow... soo now im all bruised up everywhere. So then they gave me some saline solution to delute my blood and gave me insulin through the IV... which helped and i was able to go at 2 in the morning... I was so out of it and I was lucky my roommate stayed with me the whole time she said I was saying some pretty interesting things. the moral of the story is that thats the last time I ever want to be in the hospital it was very painful.
