[QUOTE="Dyann, post: 306453, member: 47717"] Ellen, my story is very similar to your husbands and it makes me cry to even write this. I was home alone sick a few years back and woke up with a horrible headache. My insulin had been in the sun and denatured but I didn't know it yet. I was high so I took a shot of that insulin before deciding to sleep another hour and then call in sick for work.During that hour I stood up, walked to my restroom and passed out. Falling into the tub. Over five hours later I was found finally by a neighbor that had to break into my house. I was barely breathing, if at all really. At the intensive care unit of the hospital they told my mother that I was in a coma and would not live. My glucagon had rushed in while my body was in shock. Miraculously 24 hours after I woke up and had no brain damage. I did, however end up with debilitating neuropathy in my legs and feet. I was paralyzed for some time and though I have recovered some I still have constant pain each day. Was bedridden for a year almost. Even without alcohol Diabetes is a dangerous disease. I hope others can benefit from hearing our stories. [/QUOTE]
