      Well, it depends. I've had some awful pain, but I was laughing and talking to try to not think about it (which kinda didn't work). Everyone lives pain differently and there shouldn't be a right and a wrong way to do so. It's also reassuring that someone says their pain is 10 but they're not in that much pain, means they didn't go through much and this little pain is the worst they've had.

  • @AriomKirato
    @AriomKirato 4 роки тому +11

    I can relate with Clive story, it's really hard understanding what is happening when you have an hypo, most of the time it's really subtle signs of mild discomfort followed more or less quickly by the inability to understand what is happening to you anymore, your thoughts are clouded and even tho you are now fully conscious something is wrong you can't formulate the thought letting you understand what is happening or what to do to resolve it... It takes a tremendous effort to snap back to reality and it's a nightmare when you finally snap out of it... But even worse to let it happen and go into a coma...
    With time you get to understand how it is happening or the process that are not normal but the less it happens the more likely you can forget how to react... Not something easy for sure.
    Also for the low low level of sugar while still being conscious, that's something that happened to me aswell, the moment you get to taste the sugar it's like your brain relaxes and gets back in control, definitely a strange sensation, followed by huge amount of information to understand what exactly happened prior to the last 5min (cause in my experience I get to understand what was the last 5min but before that it's a mess understanding time and place, most of the time when it happened to me I lost vision even though my eyes were still full open... Definitely something really strange and I try my hardest not to let it happen again...
    Also don't try it for the fun of it, you'll be out for the rest of the day as it put a lot of stress on your body...

Particular political parties have been doing their best to destroy world-class healthcare so there will be more cash for their own pockets.

Regardless of how much education they have been able to access they remain ignorant and should not be in public office.

    Jeez - really hoping I can live a long life without enduring a kidney stone - It seems to be about the most painful thing you can ever experience short of neurological pain.
    Also as to why Clive managed to remain conscious where many others would slip into a coma - our central nervous systems have a decent amount of individual variance in balance between aerobic and anaerobic biases, as well as ketone-related metabolism. It's not something they tend to mention in physiology and medical textbooks, since it's generally irrelevant to treatment or etiology of most conditions, but it actually has a pretty solid spread on it. That said I've not seen any literature that looks at this in the context of diabetic episodes, but I suspect something it's a significant factor in cases like that.
    Incredibly sad that he suffered an attack while home alone - perhaps if the Thatcherites hadn't waged an all-out war on the NHS for the last 50 years he'd still be alive and well. Always blood of the innocent on the hands of austerity.

    I'm a diabetic, LADA to be more precise (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults). I go through several stages when I go low. If I am between 70-90 then I am just shakey and sweaty, 50-70 and I am shakey, sweaty and tend to have a feeling of doom and if I get below 50 then not only do I have the last three symptoms but I get VERY combative. At one point I was in the ER with my blood sugar at about 30 (they checked it because apparently I had the appearance of being low) and I got so combative that they brought the cops in the hold me and the cops couldn't keep me still long enough for the ER to even stick me with just a syringe of glucagon much less for an IV so one of the cops (happened to be a K9 officer) ended up bringing the dog in (cop was also diabetic and combative when low) who was trained to force a diabetic to lay down and hug him until he (the dog) licked the person's face once he could sense that the blood sugar was in a range that he was trained to be happy for (specifically about 110). Needless to say that was an interesting treatment hell.

    My heart goes out to the kidney stone guy. I had 18 bouts of stones with 16 needing lithotripsy and basket retrieval. The second to last bout I had, they lithotripsied the stones and I pushed my fluids like I was supposed to. Problem was all the stone fragments got stuck on there way down and caused a blockage. I couldn’t pee and I had 32 ounces of water in me and the pain was excruciating. I ended up in emergency surgery again before the pain stopped. There seems to be no amount of pain medication that truly helps unless your pretty much knocked out!!!!!! I would get about 20 minutes of less pain with the IV meds. Then suffered the next 3.5 hours!!!!

    "We need to start charging people, when it's inappropriate ambulance use." I actually really like that rule. You know, here in America I think that would actually be sustainable if people logically thought it through. Cause for Christ's sake the hospital bills alone will cover it, but also it would provide free emergency care for people who genuinely need it, and for those who call as pranks, or just wanting attention, or turn out to be combative or abusive, they get charged the full fees which would go towards free care for those who NEEDED it. But hey maybe that's just a pipe dream.

      People who call for EMS when they don't need it ARE punished for it in the U.S. It's called 'abuse of emergency services' and it's a crime. People just like to 'conveniently forget' about that when they argue against de-profitizing EMS. There's no legitimate, non-greedy reason to allow medicine to be as expensive as it is in this country, and it's a damn shame people fall for propaganda that demands we keep the status quo.

I’m asymptomatic when I’m high, but I feel very shaky when I’m low. Anyways, my blood sugar looks like a heart rate on my glucose monitor sometimes XD. I’ve never passed out or anything, but it can be very aggravating in school when I get low because I get low so gradually that I don’t feel it. Also, a lot of people in America think diabetes just means I’m overweight and eat a lot of sugar (I’m actually underweight on the BMI scale), but T1D is an autoimmune disease.

I had taken some insulin before I took a shower that one time I got down to 36, so I guess the blood in my body distributed it too fast (oops). The reason I got up to 450 was because I was prediabetic then (I caught my diabetes very early, so they diagnosed me with prediabetes early), and I didn’t have insulin then, so when I ate a lot, it shot up really high :/. But now I have a CGM and it says my blood sugar is 80% in range, so that’s good.
