Hi!
I haven't been here in a while....got married this July 4th, and the day after, I landed in the hospital...with a blood glucose level of #769!

Every told me that I was critical....I knew that I had been having some awful symptoms....the worst one being the incredibly intense thirst and hunger, that was driving me out of my mind! I just HAD to HAVE the "sugars" in everything that I had to drink...my tongue began to "not work properly",and soon, not just a vanilla milkshake was going to taste even remotely great!
(like it usually does,for me!):eek: :rolleyes: :confused: The whole experience of having those horrible scary feelings happening over and over again, just really, really bothered me....DO you know that water started tasting so vile, that I didn't want ANYTHING to drink....I was feeling reall thirsty, with NO MORE choices left for me to drink! (NObody EVER wants to get to that point!!! To be sure!)

The nurses and doctors were glad that I had walked in to ER, because I guess if I hadn't, I wouldn't be here typing to all of you....

Since then, I kind of tell people about the experience...because along with several other symptoms(swelling of both feet, tingling in hands, fingers, toes, et, stomach aches all of the time(from eating junk food, and having a bad "schedule" and more......) I also have been having a hard time with my eyesight! I have to use a lot of different glasses to see how to put the meds into my body,and or just to walk down the street,and or seeing simple signs and or whatever! I can honestly say, that I appreciate things a lot more than I have in the past! I can also sympathsize with others....
I wouldn't mind working for the diabetes association...is there a way to do so?
and or for any thing else out there...(I am not working at this time...save for writing poetry and stories and maybe I can help out somewhere!)

IF anybody has any clues about org's and such, drop me a line, via these forums...I would really appreciate that!
