howdy from, lil O' me

[pbmax]

Hi all, I just found this site tonight and have been digging around for a couple hrs.... Looking into food info and I have to agree with posts on Chinise... I love Kung Pow and would hate to give it up....

I was diagnosed last Monday after a visit to the emergency room and a day and 1/2 in ICU as a T2.

They tell me at 1350 I should have been in a coma...
Apparently being extremly stuborn can be a good thing. :hypocrite Even though the wife may find it frustrating at times. :D Ah well stuborn is a family trait on both sides....

Hi pbmax and Welcome. 1350 !!!! WOW !!!!! When I was diagnosed as a T1, 20 years ago, my bs was only in the 800's. Take care, ask questions, and learn everything you possibly can. :D

HI and Welcome!

I'm glad you have found us. We are a nice group here, and hopefully you'll want to stick around.

Looking at your blood sugar level at diagnosis, I am really surprised. I didn't realize that Type 2s could reach those levels, but I guess anything is possible. I think those levels are mostly reached by Type 1s, even though I wasn't near that range. I was only in the 600s :rolleyes:. Anyway, I'm sure your doctors know what they are doing and most likely have the right dx.

Welcome again!

Welcome aboard,

Imagine the sugar buzz a vampire would have gotten off of you!!

1350... wow... (not too sure what that is in ''my terms'' lol but still sounds like you were lucky not to be in a coma...

Don't hesitate to ask anything, someone here will be able to answer them I'm sure!!

See ya around :)

Welcome to the forums family Pbmax.

As you can probably tell aready this is a great site with lots of good information.

Ditto on the WOW 1350 :eek:

[pbmax]

The Doc figures the 1350 was due to the fact that I was drinking sugar loaded drinks and snacks trying to compensate for the thirst and lack of energy over a period of a week or so.

[pbmax]

Thanks all, for the warm welcome. Being only 34 and having gone to my Doc for a very nasty sinus infection the Wed before.

You can imagine how suprised I was, when I went back the following Monday and he ran some test and then told me to lay down and wait for the ambulance...

After being in the hospital for a few days and having talked to the Doc and nurses and getting info on how and why. I saw that the signs had been there for months if not longer. And one of the blood test they ran on my red blood cells traced it back at least 2 months. What I thought was symtoms due to a severe sinus infection. Dizziness, nausea, dehydration, no appetite. Having been down that road before with sinus inffections including a visit to the emergency room. I made that ol' famous mistake. I assumed..... Shows what I know.... Had I known a bit more about diabetes I might have asked my Doc or gave him more info to help me sooner, who knows... Ah well I've always been one to take things in stride and do what I need to do...
