Early Sunday Morning greetings.
Much better than Yesterday morning. Learned the different between a stroke and a low blood sugar event. Any my blood sugar was not that low either.
Woke up at 4am with my hands cold and checked my blood sugar, 460 yikes. Took the dose of insulin for 200. Around 5am woke up hot a sweatty and checked the thermostat, 71°F. The got dizzy and fe;l going back to bed. Stood back up and was going to take some aspirin incase it was a stroke. Was so dizzy could not remain standing and felt like "purging" that's what the ER techs called it, but only had dry heaves. Crawled to lazyboy but too dizzy to get into chair so called 911.
They checked my blood sugar and it was 135. Still high. Everything else checked okay.
Got to hospital and blood sugar was 80, normal! Most of the dizziness was gone but still had horrible nausea. After another hour blood sugar dropped to 70 and they put me on a drip with sugar. Within 30 minutes my blood sugar went to 248.
They did both Electro Cardio Gram and CAT scan and found nothing.
My blood sugar dropped back down to 145, wasn't dizzy or nauseous, and the couldn't find anything so they let me go around noon telling me to make an appointment with my doc.
After I got home. basically slept until 4:30 this morning. Woke up and hands were cold and my blood sugar was 468. Took half the insulin for 200.
Now an hour and a half later my blood sugar is still 468.
Haven't had anything since yesterday morning except water.
They also checked for infection and found none.
Don't make no sense to me.
With the stroke couldn't move my right arm of leg after standing up for long enough to make it to the next room. Laying down mobility came right back. Didn't get dizzy or nausea until riding in the ambulance. Sitting up in the hospital could not move right side and started slurring my speech. They layed the bed flat and everything immediately went back to normal.
When I was laying on the floor waiting for the ambulance this morning Pepper layed up against me and talked, saying hello, i love you, rubber tummy, and other stuff I couldn't understand.
