[QUOTE="Emjay76, post: 2272566, member: 525488"] Hi all, just an update.... On Sunday morning I started being sick and my husband called 111 which then sent an ambulance. I had a temperature of 39.9 and I was going down hill fast. I was given an IV in the ambulance and antibiotics pushed through as they believed I had septicaemia. By the time I arrived at the emergency dept I was in total kidney failure and septic! I was extremely ill and I spent the next 3 days in hospital. I am now unfortunately insulin dependent and have to inject 4 times a day. Apparently I was always supposed to have a blood glucose monitor on the nhs but one of the gps at my surgery told me I shouldn’t be monitoring my blood sugar! The doctors at the hospital said I was lucky to be alive. If I had left it any longer I might not be here now! Thanks for the 111 advice, it saved my life! [/QUOTE]
