How is your DH?

Dreamofmusic768 · December 2010

He is doing better, but he is still having a hard time getting his sugars under control. He is concerned that something more than just a hypoglycemic issue is going one (and I have been worried about that as well). He wonders if he had a seizure as well, which can happen with really low blood sugars, but would have to be fully worked up to make sure he isnt developing some other disorder or someting. I am terrified and I know he is pretty freaked himself.

oh gosh. I will continue to send T&Ps for you and him.

Is he perhaps going to a specialist? Could he be full on diabetic and not just hypogylcemic?

He is a type 1. Juvenile onset, so he has had bad lows before but not anything like this for about 20 years....We will be seeing his endocrinologist tomorrow at 8 AM to see what they can offer us for explanations and a further treatment plan. DH did drop his insulin a little bit yesterday morning and he didnt go as low as he had been but he was still relatively low for him. I havent had great sleep in days. And to risk sounding melodramatic, I think I have some post trauma anxiety going on as a result.

I hope he gets it figured out soon. That sucks.

You know I was watching one of my medical mystery shows and this little kid had hypoglycemic issues, he'd go unconsious. He ended up having soem rare disorder where his body produced too much insulin causing a serious hypogycemic condition, there was a name for it. There is no cure though, no medication, just a diet high in protein and complex carbs. This poor kid though, it is so rare that the doctor who studies metabolic disorders had only seen it 2-3 times in his 30 year career. They had to do DNA testing to diagnose him.

Okay, I got way off subject.

Has he been feeling OK since his episode happened??

This was a double post...ish. I will just say special diabetic snowflake in its place.

We go see his endocrinologist tomorrow at 8 AM, and hopefully they have some suggestions and ideas for treatment. Between this and Monk getting sick I havent had a good nights sleep in days, and its crazy but I get ready to go to bed and I start getting anxious and worried that something is going to happen to him again. It is awful.

I totally know how you feel. Before B got his C-pap for this SA, I would worry about him all the time. I would wake up in the middle of the night an wonder if he was still breathing....and even worse if I would hear him coughing or gasping for air.

Hopefully you can get some answers tomorrow and you can get some rest soon.
