diabetic...how do i calm my nerves until 2moro and what do i do if i have to go

they decided i wasnt goin to the hospital
know that these doctors see your case 15 times ever day. they are there to help
and they know what it will take to get your body to par. its one of those things
in life you just have to swallow your fear and do it because its your health on
the line.
I am a diabetic. don't cry. I was hospitalized also for diabetes. they probably
just want to adjust your medication. i am on insulin twice a day and medications
all day long for it. Just relax. Try to get some sleep. calm down it will be ok.
when i was 1st put in hospital (my suger was over 30in for aweek) i cryed i hate
going into hospital but once your there its ok, everythink will be ok its better
to be on the safe side then somethink happen to you just try and chill out i
promise it will all be ok and if it is not all ok you can come back and slap me
lol
I know this isn't what you want to hear, young Sofy, but if your doctor feels
that you need to go to hospital then you really should do.

It's alright to be upset. Many of us have been upset at one time or another ...
whether that's because we're diabetic or for a totally different reason. No-one
wants to be taken from a place, like your home, where you feel secure and you're
surrounded by friends and family, but sometimes it's for the best.

In hospital, you'll be in a controlled situation where adjustments can be made
to the amount of insulin that you'll be injecting, blood tests can be carried
out to test things are going according to plan, testing can also be done to find
out if there's another reason why you're experiencing problems in controlling
your diabetes. There are a few conditions that can make it more difficult, plus
you could be getting adverse reactions from any medications that you're
presently taking.

I understand, Sofy, from reading other questions that you've asked, that you
haven't been diabetic for very long. Do you mind if I say that it's VERY
important that you find how to control your diabetes, rather than letting it
control you? Uncontrolled diabetes (raised blood sugar levels) can lead to a
whole load of complications ... some of these can be embarrassing, some a 'pain
in the butt', but some of them can lead to more dangerous things, and can even
prove fatal if you don't know what to do about them, or when you should be
reporting things to your doctor. I'm speaking from experience here, Sofy. Sadly,
for years my control was not good. I now have a multitude of complications, and
it seems that almost every time I end up in hospital they find something else
going wrong.

Luckily, I've been using a pump since 1998 which has improved my control
immeasurably. The only way they're going to get this pump from me is over my
dead body, or once they've got a cure for diabetes. (I was in a shortlist for an
islet cell transplantation operation, but was not selected. boo hoo.)

I wish you the very best of luck for tomorrow, Sofy, and for many many years of
good health.

Take care.
I have been a Type-1 diabetic since I was 13 years old (I am 47 years old now)
and I can truly relate to your problem. First of all, it is perfectly normal to
cry. I did, too, when I first found out. I dreaded the degenerative effects of
the disease and having to inject myself daily. But over time I have learned the
importance of good control and, believe it or not, you do get used to the
needles. An A1C of 10.5 is dangerously high and you will be so much better off
to get it under control. In a way, you are luckier than I was when I first found
out. Medicine in the area of controlling diabetes is so much more advanced than
when I first became diabetic. I now use an insulin pump, which has improved my
control substantially.
I won't lie to you -- having diabetes is not an easy road. But with time and the
support of family and friends (very important) you will learn the ins and outs
in no time. I wish you good luck and good health!
