You need to get to hospital quickly. Get someone to phone for you and get there tonight.

You HAVE to get to hospital and fast. Do you have a mobile? A neighbour you can trouble?

Im now in hospital went there last night there machine just said hi and the ketones very high and said somthing about acidic blood they put me on slider plus sodium chloride and in vein antibiotics as well . hospital has been my second home for my whole life mainly due to chronic asthma .

I also have very low immune system on average im on antibiotics of some sort every 3 to 4 weeks i tend to get chest kidney then water infetions in that order all they keep saying is the constant ifections antibiotics and constant use of steroids will constantly push my bloods up that will make getting rid of the infections harder and cause more so really im stuck in a circle one plays the other

I only have to speak down phone im sick lol i really dont understand all this i just lost my wife earlier in year and it all bit much at mo it been 8 months and 3 yr son still crys 4 his mum. Now i feel like im letting him down am i still type 2

Tiger, I'm glad you took yourself to the hospital, I was extremely worried about you last night.

I can't possibly understand the awful time you have been through lately, coping with the loss of your wife and bringing up a small child must be so bl**dy difficult.

Whilst you are in hospital, ask your care team for help and advice. They are not there just to help you with your diabetes. If you haven't already sought help from bereavement counselling, I can highly recommend it for you and your son.

Read extensively around this forum, there is a huge amount of experiences and information here and some of it may give you one of those Ah Ha! moments. Post as often as you feel able. If there's one thing we are good at, it's offering our help, support and unsolicited advice!

Be kind to yourself and question EVERYTHING about your care. Don't let others make decisions for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a Christmas filled with laughter for you and your son.

I hope very much that you get the help that you need Tiger.

As wiflib suggests, think hard about seeking some form of counselling

You were extremely lucky last night to have had internet access, especially as your phone was down and you were unable to phone your doctor. It's handy that you have access to the internet in hospital too, you'll be able to keep us all updated.

I'm so glad that we were able to help you last night Tiger and, that you got to hospital. I hope you get sorted out with your medication and it can help you get back to a more normal life.

You need to confirm with the doctor if you are type 1 or 2. You can be on insulin and still be a type 2.

We're always here to help and support you.
