I want to take this time to thank my husband from the bottom of my heart for being so couragous and responsive on Thursday night. I have begun exercising...which for me consists of running/walking about 1 1/2 miles every other night. I have really been trying to do some cardiovascular. Don't get me wrong..I don't usually sit down unless I am sick or about to go to sleep. I am one that is constanly doing something around the house, cleaning, playing, organinzing...I don't sit around. Anyway, I have begun exercising and have not adjusted my insulin to this new exercising. So, I went to bed at about 10 pm on Thursday night and woke (sort of) up at about 1 am and my husband was slapping me in the face and was on the phone with 911. I was having a diabetic seizure in my sleep and had actually passed out. My jerking and shaking on the bed woke him up and he realized what was happening. He got up and called 911 immediatly. They were there within 2 minutes. They did my blood sugar and it was 21. So they put an IV in and gave me some instant glucose. My sugar went from 21 to 267 in about 5 minutes. Once I was able to get up and walk I went down and was able to eat some cereal. We eventually fell asleep at about 3 am. It was a very tiring Friday.
So I want to say thank you to my husbandfor saving my life more or less. If he had not woken up and called 911, I would probably be in bad shape...coma or even death.
I am very very lucky to have such a great husband and support system at home and I love you all!
