I had a nurse bring me a tub of ice cubes and a stick. To make little lollies if you like. I put the tub under my armpit until the ice melted. I was that desperate for a drink!Back then they would put you on a drip and nil by mouth for DKA. They used to bring in ice that you could moisten your lips with. I remember a number of times being so desperate for a drink I'd crunch on all the ice and beg the nurse to bring me more.
Agreed. Exercise has been the toughest (and still is) thing to learn how to manage. It is the cause of 70% of my hypo's.Nothing major so far post diagnosis.
I've had a few "days from hell" where whatever I did I couldn't seem to get my blood sugars up. I think I'm still honeymooning and my pancreas is not fully cooperating like Wednesday when I had important meetings with a client in Reading and after a normal bowl of porridge and dose, my level promptly dropped to 4.1, and stayed below 5 all day. It's hard to focus when you have a feeling of incipient hypo. Needless to say I didn't feel comfortable exercising that evening.
My wife tells me that I had one episode of shaking at night, of which I have no memory at all - possible significant hypo, but she did not test me.
So far the biggest impact on my life has been learning how to manage exercise again,
And I'm apparently a grumpy bast@rd at the best of time.
