| | | how high were you when dxd
i was just trying to see how high everyone's sugars were when they were first dxd.i had said in another post my actual number was 1350,that was in 1983 when i was 10 years old,the first 24 hrs i was given a small dose of insulin every hour.that was before humalin and humalog.it is surprising that i was'nt in a coma from those sugars,i did blackout shortly after being admitted.the first thing i asked was could i still drink milk,at that time i did'nt know much about diabetes. |

| | | Only 680 for me (according to my medical records). I sure was sick though and was in a semi-coma. I hate to think how you must have felt. They didn't start giving me insulin for several days after I went into the hospital. Sure felt better when they did. Started getting hungry, too. Not only did I eat the hospital food, I ate the utensils, the tray, the bed sheets, my pajamas, the syringes, . . . .

| | I was 608 and boy did I feel horrid, they didn't put me on insulin (I'm type 2) because my doctor thought I'd do a good job getting my numbers down quickly and I didn't disappoint him  |

| | In 1982 (right before my 10th birthday), I was diagnosed, & at the time, my sugar was 400. I was put in the hospital for two weeks, and while there, got the flu...ugggg. However, my doctor was cool and brought me a carob chocolate (not as sweet) bar for my birthday! 
(By the way - LOL, lg! Did the bed sheets, utensils, etc...make your sugar go up? LOL )

| | | 788 here. When I couldn't tell if the traffic signal was green or red I decided it was time to see my doc. My constant reminder of diabetes even today is my eyesight, which is ok for the most part but the variability is irritating. My doc did a blood test, sent me back to my office when it was taking a while to get the results, then called me screaming into the phone because it took him an hour to find me later in the day. I stayed overnight in the hospital on some type of insulin drip and it brought the BG down about 500 points. It took me months after that to get the BG lower. I also ate everything in the house and drank gallons of whatever fluid I could find (thank God I'm not a mechanic - not sure how motor oil tastes) while losing weight. When I starting making a beehive dart from the bathroom to the refrigerator I knew it was time to see the doc. Christie, I'm not sure I would have survived 1350 - I can't imagine how bad you must have felt. |

| | | They didn't give us the exact number, but Erica was over 1000.
We were happy as heck when we actually saw a "low" reading of like 350 after quite a while. |

WOW - That was a high one - 702!  To convert, take the result number (i.e. 39, 5.6, etc...) and multiply by 18. (5.6 = 100.8).
