One of the worst nights of my life.
I woke up at 130 this morning to my DH making a really scary gurgling sound. I thought he was getting sick so I went to get a can or something for him, and when I came back in the room he was on his back unresponsive, barely making sounds...not answering when I called out his name. I called 911 and the rescue squad came, by the time the police came his eyes were focusing and he was really slow in his speech but he was somewhat responsive. They checked his blood sugar and it was 52. Gave him glucose and put an IV in. He started to come around but was really groggy, and somehow he consented to not be taken to the ER.
When after a sandwich he was still not getting any clearer and focused (he couldnt tell us what day it was) I decided to take him in to the ER myself. They couldnt get his sugar to regulate properly so they gave him some meds for nausea for a huge headache (common with bad lows of this nature) got him to eat and keep food down and stabilized his sugars and sent him home. I am waiting for Monk to wake up so I can take him to my moms for a while so I can get some sleep.
He doesn't remember anything that happened after 9 pm last night, he is super tired from his meds and will probably feel like he has the worst hangover of his life once he sleeps this off....but y'all I was terrified! I was beside myself. Thank goodness I woke up.

Our baby girl!!
How crazy!!! I couldn't even imagine...and oh my God, how lucky that you woke up!!!
I truly, truly, truly hope he's doing ok and they can figure out what's up. Keep us up to date.
((((((hugs))))))
He is a type 1 diabetic, and I have never ever seen him like this ever. Right now we are awake but he is trying to eat to bring his sugar up again...he was 139 when we left the hospital at 7 AM and we just woke up and he checked his sugar and he was 66. We are putting a call into the endocrinologist because he is just not able to keep himself regulated.
It seriously was the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced. I dont remember if I said this in the OP but he also must have bit his tongue during all this because the whole front of his tongue is bruised and has teeth marks...he nearly bit through his tongue.
He told me that something like this has not happend to him for maybe 20 years and this was by far the worst.
Thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers and I will definitely keep you updated. After all this I just really needed to get the thoughts out of my head for a bit so I could calm down enough to get some sleep.
