| what was your most awful experience as a diabetic?
I was reading under the thread "severe hypos" when I came up with the idea to this thread.
My worst experience happened like 3-4 years ago. It was saturday morning and I was waking up. I remembered that my boyfriend had gone to work and that I had taken my basal insulin when he left; now I was alone in the house. I felt totally disoriented. I could hardly move or speak. I knew I was low, but I could not get up. I thought I was going to die. The stupid thing is, that I had a sugary soda in the bedroom reachable from the bed, because I had been going low every other night for quite some time up till this incident. When I after what seemed like hours in my totally messed up mind figured that there was no way I could do anything by my self to get my sugar back up, I started yealling as hard as I could. I started with yealling for help, but my strength was so little that I could not go on for long. So, I finally gave up. I remember thinking "thats it" and then roaring a couple of final roars. Then I just lied in bed moving slowly back and forth and then nothing. I had fallen asleep again from pure fatigue. I woke up when my boyfriend came back home, and knowing me he quickly gave me a drink of soda. I came to my senses; I felt horrible with the worst headache ever, and I just cried and cried. After that I started checking my sugar every day before bed and I never again took my basal and then got back to sleep. Still today I remember this day as the worst in my life.  |
