Hi everyone.
My Hubby is a type 1 Diabetic which started when he went into multi organ failure as a child he has since had 2 kidney transplants and is currently on the transplant list for a combined kidney and pancreas transplant,
He is now 35 and has worked as a milkman for many years. A year and a half ago he had to leave work because he progressed to end stage renal failure.
For the last 18 mnths we have been trying to adjust his insulin regime to allow him to lead a more normal lifestle so he can eat at standard mealtimes but to disasterous consequences,
He was seeing 3 seperate diabetic specialists ,one at his GP's one at the renal clinic and the other at manchester diabetic ctr and all gave different advice leaving him in a right state on a regular basis.
This week he has had the worst week with sugar levels going over 30 and no reduction after a 25 units of novarapid 1 1/2 hrs later he collapsed with the machine stating Hi which means the level had increased to over 35... he was taken to A&E and left for 2 hours to where his sugars dropped to 2.2 he was given 1 slice of bare toast by the nurse and his sugars jumped start back up to 15 within 30 mins, once his sugars leveled out 12 hours later he was discharged but he cant cant get an appointment to see any of the clinics for over a week,, his levels r still jumping up n down like crazy wot can we do? Help.....
