They said he should be better by Tuesday. His numbers are better now. Mid 100's...still slighty crazy but getting better every day now. He is going to the doc (a different one in the office) tomorrow cause he is wheezing again, so we need to find out what he can take that is safe. I am sooo mad at that doctor.

I have taken my husband in a couple times in three years of marriage for lows that we can't get to come back up and a stomach flu that wiped him out. The second they find out he is diabetic they take him right in. The only thing that ranks higher at our ER's is a heart attack or stroke. Shame on them for not taking diabetes seriously! You and your husband will be in my prayers!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628710405872367626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-39712269560642626682011-04-11T21:35:24.713-04:002011-04-11T21:35:24.713-04:00I agree, ER docs are hit and miss.

Low dose is probably different plus this was an inhaled version of the steroids which I think MIGHT make a difference. I don't know but apparently it is the cause of this big mess.<br /><br />Well it is 930PM so I think it is time to rest up for work tomorrow <br />Ahhhhh uggghhhSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361096702591999799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-35394919858151053692011-04-11T19:43:16.767-04:002011-04-11T19:43:16.767-04:00How awful.

The thing about Type 1 diabetics "not being able to take steroids" is more than a little upsetting for me. My husband has been on prednisone since his kidney transplant several years ago, but at least we were told it could make his sugars go high. It is a low dose, but it does have an effect (I think) in many ways. Some of his doctors will try to say that 5 milligrams a day shouldn't make a difference for him, but it obviously does. This is part of his anti-rejection medication for his transplanted kidney, so he has no hope of ever getting off it.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-73245300281213086092011-04-11T19:03:50.243-04:002011-04-11T19:03:50.243-04:00and people wonder why I am cynical about the medic...and people wonder why I am cynical about the medical industry!<br /><br />I am so sorry, Sandy, that you and Vince had to go through this<br /><br />However, as DW has said over and over in her blogs,<br /><br />if we don't take control, there is no control<br /><br />it is so difficult to trust today<br />thank goodness that the ER doc understood!<br /><br />ER docs are hit and miss<br />sometimes they are great<br />other times they are not<br /><br />I find that often they care so little about follow up<br />that they are more honest than "regular" docs<br /><br />then again.....<br /><br />there are no good answers.<br /><br />can you get some sleep?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705829484047551171.post-19673565964362608602011-04-11T16:52:09.807-04:002011-04-11T16:52:09.807-04:00Yes we are actually never going back to that docto...Yes we are actually never going back to that doctor. We both see/saw her. We are going to the other docs in the practice for now and then will eventually switch to a different practice all together. That should not have happened.
