great care package for the COP killer still on DR for over 20 yrs.
He prescribed one called Qsymia but my blue cross blue shield wouldn’t cover it, it was around $60 a week oop, and I’m just too frugal (or cheap) to pay that much. I’ll run Belviq by him at my next appointment. Thanks for the tip.
The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.
Of course, with THIS President, who knows what extra-legal baloney he may try to pull in January 2017.
Dude, I routinely have a blood sugar of 450. Should I worry?
I would. I’d be scared poopless if that was me again, laz.
That morning I read 435 at 600 am was after eating no dinner the night before, because I felt sick. I puked my guts out all night long from 1000 pm to 600 am. I may have puked 2-3-400 times. I don’t even know.
I was an uncontrolled diabetic until that night. I knew I had it, but I denied it. The two main symptoms I had was constant, unquenchable thirst and extremely frequent urination. My body was doing its best to flush that sugar, but was not able to, and that resulted in extreme hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis for me.
My sugar was placed in control with metformin and glimeperide since then. They are cheap drugs and they work. I’m pretty sure I’d die a horrible death without them.
YES.
Naw. I’ll be fine. I’ve had 450-550 blood sugar for the last 2 to 3 years. Never had a problem.
I figure my unquenchable thirst helps me get more water in my system. It’s not a bug, it’s a FEATURE!
Yep, mine was like that too, then it went to over 600
Now I’m on metformin and glypicide and it’s around 110
I was having blurry vision, constant thirst and urination.
Got where I was drinking lots of fruit juice but it had
too much sugar and was driving it worse.
Now I watch my sugar and starches and do ok.
Take care.
Oh God I am so screwed.
I’m gonna die
My life is over
Oh lawdy lawdy
No, Laz! Don’t do it!
Laz, Laz Laz, there’s nothing good about the number 450 unless you’re counting your paramours.
I didn’t take it seriously for a long time but then
I met a guy whose idea of diet control was to drink
a beer.
He went into a coma, they had to remove both his
legs and he never left the hospital after that.
My only problem now is if it gets too low, then
I get shakes and other symptoms, but I carry
glucose tabs with me and eat more frequently.
Good luck, a world of women without Laz
would be a pitiful place...and now I’m too
old to take advantage of it.
No, no no, laz, get yourself to the doctor asap if your sugar is at that level!!!
letting it stay that high for any length of time can result in serious consequences such as kidney failure, needing dialysis for the rest of your life, diabetic coma, shock, death.
having a sugar 150-250 or so is considered more dangerous, because there are no symptoms and it just kind of does its dirty work in a stealthy manner, but at 400+ you have symptoms with the thirst and urination, and that sugar is wreaking havoc all day, every day. Doctor! Go! Please!
Many people are going around with high blood sugars and had no idea they were diabetic, until they show up in the ER with DKA.
No idea if that was the case here with Mumia.
But it would make sense.
Any two-bit prison doctor would have had him on insulin long before this, if Mumia was a known type I DM.
