[QUOTE="TheShark, post: 321465, member: 26137"] My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your husband. Now if you do not take care of yourself yes you can die, but its not always diabetes that kills you and in the case of your husband Gerard, his blood sugar was not high 8, is still acceptable by the medical profession a blood glucose of 8 as being alright. I would question the doctors, 6 of them with him and none of them could help him, to me that does not sound right. It sounds like your husband Gerard died from alcohol poisoning, which does happen if you have been drinking for over 12 hours, or you’re not used to drinking because it can cause side effects, or other medical problems. Again it sounds more like a choice was taken by the doctors and it back fired, hence your husband dying a few day later. Excessive drinking at any age can cause all sorts of problems for people short and long term. For people on medication, the warnings are on the medications, that side effects are possible, and driving machinery is also covered by those warnings. To say the diabetes killed him, I am sorry; I do not accept that at all. Have the doctors explain to you what went wrong. Gerard died and his blood sugars stood at 8, if most diabetics could achieve that level, there would be very few diabetics out there. Is there any serious illness in his family? There is more to this than meets the eye. Blaming diabetes on it gets the doctors off the hook so to speak... TheShark [/QUOTE]
