Looking back at my past diabetic history, I have some interesting stories to share.....I will start with one time with high BS...
1. I was about 19 years old and studying piano technology (Repair and tuning etc), I got up late one day and ran to the train station....got to Aldgate east station where my school was (London college of music).....Spent a few hours there before I started to feel really ill and sick....Realizing I had forgotten my insulin (Again)...I decided to go back home (I told no one i'd left). Slowly on my way home I got thirsty, in fact so thirsty I had to go into a sweet shop and ask for water (Nice people helped me)....I was sick many times before I got home (I Hid in bushes so nobody could see me being sick)....I never want this to happen again! Got home OK
Just!
Low sugar...
1. First time in Thailand....me and my friend decided to take a tour to the jungle.....tour said lunch will be at 12 mid day. So I took some sweets and so on for emergencies.....However! Lunch was way past mid day, and we are talking mountain walks (Unexpected).....I had eaten everything I had, and BS levels were rapidly heading into danger zone....By the time we got to the lunch time location I was feeling really weak....We sat with the other tourist ready for our food....I told my friend I need a coke....by the time I got anything, I had, for the first time, and only time in my life, an hallucination.....
everybody was looking at me, and nobody had skin on their face..... Scary! After I had the coke....All was good....but to this day, I can remember like it was yesterday.
2. I married a lovely Czech lady...still today we are best friends....However, before we married we spent a night in her mother and fathers house.....My sugar went low and I decided to take my clothes off....walked into the living room where her mother and father was, and stood there showing everything!
Talk about embarrassing! Especially the next day :-(
Anyway, at the time I did not speak Czech (I do now)....Mum and dad took me to the hospital.....OMG! I was telling everyone in the hospital they were aliens and leave me alone (Because I didn't understand the language)....What an experience.....
3. I was at work (Street light electrician)....sugar went low again.....My friend and driver could not get any sense out of me.....So at high speed he took me to the hospital.....I called every nurse and doctor a devil.....Why? I don't know....But did I love them all when I came back to earth.....I kissed them all....
I have other situations like this when I was younger...Do you have the same? Or am I the only one?
