Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2029212" data-attributes="member: 196898">I had a couple of heart attacks last month, and one side effect was that the reality of not being able to breathe properly sent me into panic.  Now this flooded my body with adreneline and I was already insulin resistant, so the adenaline stopped the insulin storing glucose, and my IR stopped me using it so the glucose filled my veins with nowhere to go,  My bgl shot right off the meter in A&E, and could not be read.  I managed to rationalise this while gasping away, and realised I had to drop the adrenaline as nothing else would bring those levels down (insulin infusions were tried with zero effect since I already had that a plenty).  So I applied mindfullness and meditation that I had learnt in the 60's, and the next morning I greeted my Consultant with a smile and a reasonable glucose count.  I have found myself doing it throughout this current journey since I am not out of the woods by far, but I have pushed my diabetes into remission now,  Yes YOU CAN.</blockquote>
