I am not certain if this is the appropriate area of this forum to post this, so please feel free to move it, Diamonds, if necessary!! :D
I ended up going to the Clinic EARLIER than my Friday am appt. - yesterday, Tuesday Dec. 4th. After taking my vitals and an EKG (I was throwing PVC's all over the place) and my sugar was 521, and I was extremely dehydrated.............then sent me over in a wheel chair, down the road to the EMERGENCY ROOM. Thank God for Bobbie, the ER nurse, she was able to get my IV in with little effort, and little pain. AN ANSWER TO PRAYER!! They gave me three bags of saline (2 wide open) and one that lasted 4 hours, along with INSULIN. I'm Type II so I'd never had insulin before. It brought my sugar down to 286, and my blood Pressure stabalized, it too, had been ALL over the place. I still have somewhat of an abnormal heart beat, think that is just me.
THEY SENT ME HOME that evening (i beat the snow). This am, Wednesday, Dec. 5th I get up and prior to eating or drinking anything my blood sugar is once again HIGH - 351. WHAT THE HECK ???
I am keeping my appt. at the clinic for Friday AM..............they really NEED to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. I'm getting sick and tired or being sick and tired.
The stress of this not being resolved, along with missing work and NOW I miss my Christmas bonus, which I was dependent on, in order to pay my January rent, has given me even MORE stress. Also, our company shuts down from December 14th until January 7th for Christmas break - WITHOUT PAY.
My two greatest prayer concerns now are HEALTH AND FINANCE. Seems like it always comes back around to those two areas. I've learned something though..........through this experience and am STILL learning it day by day and hour by hour........I AM NOT IN CONTROL OF MYSELF, GOD IS IN CONTROL.
I faught with the clinic doctors when they told me to go to the ER, it was extremely urgent that I do.........I tried to bargain with them and tell them I'd be back that night, I couldnt MISS WORK (I'm sure they thought me crazy)............but then later after crying BUCKETS of tears, I had a PEACE come over me, KNOWING that God would take care of me!!! Was it better for me to go to the ER NOW or have my boss call the squad?? or worse, me pass out in my car and kill myself and someone with me?? I gave in to God and the doctors!! Its a strange feeling to give everything over to God..........since I am a control freak, but also very FREEING.
I love and covet your prayers!!! Will try to keep everyone posted. xo xo

I am so sorry to hear this! Please take care of yourself. Those blood sugar levels are awful.
It is good that your faith is strong. It surely will help you through this.
In my thoughts and prayers ~~

Diamonds, THANKS so much!!!
Latest update, after being chewed out by my doctor and several others, with blood sugars running between 300-500, they put me on insulin. I must take 2 shots daily. It is truly NOT as bad as I thought it would be.
Again, thank you for the kind words. I guess you are the only one here that cares.
