ClaireG Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Sorry i've not been online. I've been in hospital On the 17th Dec i went to see the nurse with what i thought might be a chest infection. She gave me a prescription for anti biotics and i went home. Two hours later i could barely breath and phoned nhs direct who sent an ambulance I was put on oxygen and stayed on it 24/7 for 3 days. I also had all sorts of drips etc including insulin and iv antibiotics. I've had pneumonia in my left lung and this http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/facts/diabeticacidosis.htm I discharged myself christmas eve. Was being told two diffrent things by two diffrent consultants and wanted to be with my family for christmas. I have been at my parents since christmas eve. I'm going home tonight as have a Drs appointment in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireG Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Have been to the Dr this morning. He was lovely and said he would have discharged himself to I have to double my dose of blood pressure meds. I have a monitor to check my own blood sugar levels and had to go to our diagnostic centre for bloods. I have to make an appointment for the diabetic nurse for next week. My blood sugar is still much to high so it looks like i may either need a new injectible diabetic drug or insulin. Not sure how i'll be with injecting myself but ....if needs must then so be it.

Lesley Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ooooh! not nice Claire! - I don't think I'd be much good at injecting myself either I hope it's settled a bit before your appt. next week and it may not come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
