Thanks, laying in my own bed and after popping a few pills I'm feeling quite a bit better..
A 6.5 A1C? Nice job, hope I can get that kind of control some day..
I can see how they would think that the symptoms I was having was related to DKA, but how can they explain the pain in my ribs? I know now that nothing is broke, probably just bruised or something, but they only went so far as to take x-rays and not even review them.. Makes no sence..
I had to put up with the same attitude when I was first diagnosed, that was another nightmare.. That was when my whole view about doctors and nurses changed..
What I found a bit funny though was when I was able to eat and they were adjusting my insulin drip, I made them tell me what they were doing before they changed it.. At lunch I told them that I was going to go low because they were giving me to much insulin, nurses didnt even listen to me.. Hour and a half later my BS was 68.. Same thing at dinner, told them I'd go low with that much insulin, went down to 70.. About 10pm my BS was around 170, told them I needed 4 units to bring it back down to 110-120, they gave me 2 units, wasnt enough so 2 hrs later they gave me the other 2 units... I got a little more respect after that, but not much..
I do have to say that the nurses were MUCH better educated about diabetes than the last time I was in the hospital.. A few of them actually sat down and talked with me trying to find out more about diabeties.. It's the ER doctor that started all of this, my endo should have done more, I'll take that up with her next time I see her.. I can look the other way, I'm the forgiving type of person even when I really shouldnt be, but if the hospital thinks I'm paying the full bill they got another thing coming..
