Checks was verysick, last night
He started off the day, feeling unwell. He ate very little during the day, but spent lots of time in tub; I assumed he was drinking, after I turned the drip on.
Preshot, he didn't want to eat supper....not unusal. He'll eat in a bit, so I shot at a 133. Perfectly fine...except the he wouldn't eat for the rest of the night.
Hour later, he had risen to 155...still fine. Still he won't eat or drink..kept staring at food and water, like he wanted it, but something stopped him. I did not recognize that as signs of nausea. He looked like he couldn't see or smell the food. I even tried zero carb dry.
+2.5~ 127...He just kept dropping. I had a row of open cans of everything imaginable on the counter.
Couple more drops and now he's a 57. I syringed gravy with karo. Gave milk....he accepted that.
.+5.5.....drop to 61 syringed sweet gravy
+6~31....karo on finger in mouth....sweet gravy
Kept up syringing sweet gravy, until rising
=7..78 syringe
7.5..114 syringe
8....86 syringe.
+9.5...155
+11 this morning....147.....still won't eat or drink.....decided to skip shot.
9:00 AM....236....licked FF gravy, and bit of tuna juice.....not eating
10: AM Susan arrives to give fluids.. She walks in the room and says "kidneys".....Checkers reeks of urine! She knew the smell...I didn't.
She says it's coming from his breath, as well as his skin.
She gives fluids and about an hour later, he was looking for food and water.
I had no 'nausea' meds, so gave him a fourth of a Pepcid AC
Why was I worried about those nice numbers? Because he was acting bizarre, and would not eat anything to counteract the insulin injection. He acted like he didn't recognise it as food or water, just sat in front of it.
I didn't know that was signs of nausea.
Any other time I would be delighted with those blues and greens.
He just ate a nice amount of gravy/food, not good for his bg, but it's food.
In an effort to shorten this, I left out tons of scary details.
I'm sure it was confusing in places....sorry.
