Yesterday I measured my blood glucose when I was experiencing ravenous thirst. I would drink a quart of water, then on the last gulp, experience an intense thirst. I knew something was wrong.
I measured on the meter and it said "HIGH, OVER 600 mg/dL". It was too high for the meter.
I took 40 units of long-acting insulin and 50 units of a sliding-scale immediate-acting insulin, and in 4 hours I was at 460 mg/dL b/g. Based on how insulin is processed in my body, I extrapolate that at one point I was at 1,100 mg/dL b/g.
I felt death close by me.
I am so concerned about a thug or a government killing me, but the reality is I will die from disease. All my guns won't protect me from diabetes.

I hope you saw your doctor today. Take care of yourself!
Exercise and eat lots of greens.
Get well soon
Somehow this does not surprise me.
May even be preferable to fingertip pricks, which are Hell on earth.
I’m ordering this book
How does one milk a canary?
That's almost exactly my age, height and weight. 240/180!
WOW!
I don't think my top number has hardly ever been as high as his lower number.
Exercise does help bring it down so...

No, I was on insulin injections when I was heavy. I have type 2.
