[quote=blue_eyed_devil;177665]IApparently I overpowered my father (at the tender age of 12) when he tried to give me glucagen, swore at, verbally and physically abused medical staff and vomited on a doctor (that was funny for my dad cause apparently the dr said she wouldn't treat me until I stopped swearing, at which point my father pointed out that I had just come out of a 'coma' and didn't exactly know what the heck I was doing... next second, shoes covered in vomit...)
Now while I know that diabetics can't control themselves when we're that far out of it, it is kind of embaressing to know that it took three grown men - two ambo's and my dad - to restrain me while I kicked and screamed (to the point where neighbours actually came over to see what the heck was going on) then yelling and abusing hospital staff...
I know I wasn't 'in control' of myself, but man, what people must have thought... I'm not sure that most people really understand that diabetes can be that serious... Or that you really can lose control like that.
Hey Blue eyes! I was nearly going to say 'Hey Devil' but thought better of it, he! he! I've had much the same experiences as you when I was younger. I can laugh at it now but back then I was embarrased. If it happened now, well it wouldn't bother me one bit. Don't worry about it. When you get to that stage it's out of your control. All you can do is try your best to avoid it.
