Thanks much! Yeah...it is a tough one. The type I was diagnosed with is a rare one. It doesn't respond to chemo or radiation and has a 96% mortality rate in the first 18 months following treatment. I am presently at the 16th month after treatment.
I've had normal BGs until about a month ago. Out of the blue my BG shot up to over 400. So, I'm back to sticking myself.
Yikes. Sounds like you've really been through the wringer! I can relate to the absurdly high BG. Mine spiked out at over 600 at one point. I don't remember any of it. I learned later I was in some kind of delirium and wasn't making any sense at all. I'm amazed anyone was able to tell the difference. ;o)
"I am presently at the 16th month after treatment."
Thank God for that. Sounds like you got to it in time. We'll keep you in our prayers.
The first time it happened, I went to the hospital alone. My wife had the flu at the time so I told her she needed to stay home and that it was probably nothing serious. My BG was 560-something and the docs were worried because my eyes were dilating. I wondered why everything seemed brighter on the drive over. ;-) Once there in the ER, a couple of times thought I was going to pass out. I was sicker than I realized and glad I made the drive over.
