I don't post often unless something odd happens. Last June my left kidney played up and a stent and catheter were attached to sort the problem.Five weeks later,when everything had been sorted I started passing out.Blood sugars fine, surgery advised ringing 111 and paramedics arrived.No problems ,ECG fine then I passed out again and eventually ended up in Resus . Two hours later at 1am an emergency pacemaker was fitted,then Coronary care. Two days later a permanent pacemaker was fitted.No problems and discharged a week later. Two weeks later admitted to same ward ,problems breathing. Was in for another two weeks and finally discharged on ten pills a day.
Now the good news ,in February this year I was awarded the John Mc Leod medal ,having been a Diabetic for 70 years.I now feel very well and hoping to eventually claim the 75 year medal from the USA Joslin medal.I was diagnosed in 1954 at ten years old.
PS have just given my hot cross buns to my neighbour,they send my blood sugar sky high.
