I was admitted on Tuesday. Got home Friday. Goodluck with the op hun.I understand your annoyance with breakfast.....
I'm going in 19th or 20th for a planned op and already told they can't cope with my eating and my hubby should bring in my food.
I know the hell of unplanned admissions too..pure hell....
Emergency admissions especially over weekends won't give you answers I'm afraid...
OMG that's so negligent. Last thing you need when you have been having such severe and complex issues. All your doctors need to co-operate with each other and respect each other's scope of practice. This is almost formal complaint material.I had a Holter monitor for 72h and some bloods done. My cholesterol is pretty low. Both my LDL and HDL are way below the range like 0.2 and 0.1 respectively (I can't remember units but they were marked red and the range was beside it starting with like 1.6 and up for both)
You a plain general medical registrar. I have neurology appointment in 2-3 weeks so she didn't even bother calling my neurologist. She made a decision herself to took me of my neurology meds and I refused cos that's wasn't an answer as it would just cause massive headaches and worsen the dizziness. So as I refused she sent me home saying see ur neurologist when u get the appointment knowing it could be 3 weeks. My fiancé was there and he told her if anything happens to me in mean time it's on her.
I don't even know if she has a superior cos she is THE DOCTOR with her own medical team and I was told it's not often she comes to see her patients and that she usually send just her team. Which I honestly wouldn't mind cos her team, even hear intern were more interested and had more listening skills than she will ever have. It's not my first encounter with her either. It seems like she is MY doctor whenever I end up in hospital. It took her a year of serve headaches to contact neurology. It took neurology 10 mins to find a cause. I just think she is too full of herself to ask for someone else's opinion. if I have to go into hospital again it will be over my dead body I talk to her. I will request another doctor and I will kick and scream if I have to. I am done with her.OMG that's so negligent. Last thing you need when you have been having such severe and complex issues. All your doctors need to co-operate with each other and respect each other's scope of practice. This is almost formal complaint material.
If something like this happens again, you have the right to see their superior before you leave the hospital. Usually the charge nurse can help with this sort of thing, as they can be more interested in patient rights, safety, and following correct procedure.

As for food I got over it. Sugars are all over place now tho. Anything from 9 to 15 and I had them nicely in check from 5 to 8. And I put on a stone too. No good....
That's crazy... hopefully they will sort you out properly!Normally in and out apparently in one day but been told cos of op I will have to stay in over night and its best as I don't eat anything processed its best My hubby brings in my food. Still waiting to find out what time or which day or how they going to treat my T1 though...they apparently tell T1's to go without their morning injection.. If I do that I'm in 20's within 2 hours. They've not had a T1 that has to have a bolus without food in the morning from waking phenomenen.......
I would get hold of ur neurologist secretary and explain what happened and ask if there are any earlier appointments
You've probably seen these guidelines before but if not, hope you find something useful in them:Normally in and out apparently in one day but been told cos of op I will have to stay in over night and its best as I don't eat anything processed its best My hubby brings in my food.

Any update hun? Did they sort you out?Just wondering when tbey going to get back to me... They've had a week. See surgeon on Thurs but he won't have a clue.. Already been told that.
Back to chronic neck pain over night... Levels uppedenormously because of tbe pain... Makes it evenharder for me to get right pre op...
Thanks. I am eating very regularly but since I am out of hospital the sugars are all over the place. Going to my GP tomorrow thank god. I just had another hypo.... 3.5 this time so not as bad but still... jesus....The hunger is because of the orange juice, you did right to address the hypo.
Your body is telling you to eat more carbs to sustain your blood glucose to a level that your body is happy with.
I can't remember wether I have mentioned dumping syndrome.
It's when you digest very quickly and you use your converted glucose very quickly.
Eating little and often very low carb will stop this.
I eat regularly, just topping up to stop the hypers then hypos. It might work for you!
That is great to hear, Pam. It's so good we we find a GP who really cares about us, and who will stand up to doctors who are higher up the ladder, when it's necessary. I imagine it's not easy for them to do that. Completely needed in this case!Spoke with GP. He was absolutely disgusted with the way they treated me at the hospital and he said from now on any time they send me to hospital he is going to write in big bold letters - DIFFERENT CONSULT NO DOCTOR X-
He said metformin would never cause these symptoms and it was ridiculous for them to take me off it and cause such a sugars spikes. He also put me on beta blockers for my pulse, and sent referal to cardiologist, which he said should have been done in hospital and the Consultant should of rang my neurologist before she even atempted taking me of topamax. I am seeing neurologist on the 27th of this month so I have to ask him few questions from my GP and come back to him. He said I did really good treating the hypos and I am doing very well with my sugars and keep it up and if anything happens ring him right away. Also he said disability thing is a good idea cos even he thinks I am just in a bad place health wise at the moment and I need time to sort this out.
