Diabetics hypoglycemia on TV3

Yesterday on TV3 in the documentary "Emergencies" a teenage girl came out with a good downturn, below 26 the nurse tells her and looks how half fainted those of emergencies go home and inject her serum with glucose directly in blood,No glucagon since glucose serum is much faster.In a few seconds it is fine.

Link (see in the minute 29)

It's curious, I had never seen another person with hypoglycemia and produces a very rare sensation.

Oysters ... poor girl, often scare !! ... the truth is that it comforts to see that recovery is equally fast as when they give us not so aggressive downs ... but the situation is still one of our worst nightmares, definitely.

It is one of my fears, they accompany me day by day, in fact I have not been ableConsciousness in seconds, we were able to overcome with glucose that bound through the gums, without the need for glucagon.
And since the issue of severe hypoglycemia has come out, in case of the glucagon, which must be done later ???Is it necessary to call emergencies ???

@Rociollinares unfortunately I have had the odd scare of being in the middle of the night by throwing in bed like the exorcist's girl, so I tell you what we have done.
When my wife managed to prick the glucagon, the first thing she does is call emergencies to come to see if everything is fine, while she put me honey in the gums to absorb.The fact of using honey is because they told us that in case of loss of consciousness the liquids can go for a bad place and have an added problem and the solids because you are not able to bite or swallow anything.
By the time they arrive it is normal to have recovered and be perfectly, but it hurts to make you a check and make sure that everything is going well.
Only once they have taken me to the hospital after having traced a hiccup and it was because the emergency doctor sounded bad about seizures and they insist that they took me to the hospital because it could be an epileptic attack.But it is what happens when they arrive and find you well, but you tell them about seizures, as they think that the patient and family are do not believe that you know perfectly that it has been a hypo and they want to heal in health by sending you toEmergency.
It's been a long time ago and I hope it will never be repeated again. Of course, but mainly because of my wife who has taken very fat frights.

The truth is that if it happens to you at night sleeping, at least I did not know anything until I woke up with my mouth sticky through my wife's honey and fright.It is what you have to lose consciousness ...

Ah, and whether you call emergencies as if it should not be remembered that apart from the glucagon, slow absorption hydrates must be taken to avoid the decrease that the insulin that is residual in the body can produce.

@gracias nachemi !!!!The honey also knew it, I used glucose because I had it by hand, and the texture is more or less similar.
My daughter was the same, she collapsed, and when she came back, she saw me crying, her super scared little sister and crying too and two neighbors to whom the little one had gone to look for them to be with her while II was with Maria ... in a few seconds we spread to us .... I didn't get to glucagon, but I went to it ...

There are years ago that these things do not happen, but unfortunately most have no access.Seeing this girl like that has destroyed me, we are a country of cave.

We are as cave as any other.MCG are not subsidized to all diabetics in any country in the world.Or you pay it or nothing.In Germany they are starting, but they are still far from being universal.And in the USA or you have a medical insurance for which you pay a kidney or you die on the street for medical expenses.You just have to read what is happening with insulin prices.

I was going to write a tocho but step up.There are means for that girl not to happen to the video, and she does not have access to them.
And that is not justified by speaking or money or saying that other countries are equally cave as us.

By the way I personally changed me without hesitation to the US. And I took insurance from there, but without thinking about it.And I am informed of prices and everything that entails.

Right now I am stealing the SS every month money from my salary to give me a strips of my **** that I do not need, it does not compensate for me.

My daughter never became unconscious and had strong whim, but I read that the glucagon can put into an insulin syringe and in less quantity ..., I am calmer in case one day I would need it ..,

Without arguing, you seriously think that the SS steals you ??Do you say it being a chronic patient?Paying 4 euros for an insulin that is worth between 40 and 90?Strips, needles, lancetas ... primary care, specialists ... Try to have private insurance that covers all that to see how much it costs you.Ah no, that no insurer wants to cover us.

Of course it is very improvable, of course.And we have to press to improve.If we are not heard, they will not pay attention to us.

With what takes away the SS and what I pay for Dexcom, in the US. I have insurance with the dexcom g5 putting a little more.

That the insurance here are disregarded does not mean that they do it everywhere.

Here is a user living in the US. And he has put what he pays a month for his insurance with coverage for the whole family, which includes insulin and dexcom and everything, with a Dexcom sensor a week!That would be a burial money here if you pay it.And what pays me to me seems affordable taking into account the soils there.In fact I could pay me well with my current salary.

The issue is that now Social Security payment and I have to continue putting money from my pocket to have quality of life.
My punishment for being chronic patient is religiously paying 10 % of my salary.

I do not have to thank you for anything that pays me, that for that I pay taxes, no matter how much that in the Pharmacy paper they put the real price of insulin to see if I thank you.

And in addition to that the advanced countries invest in research, to get rid of these types of expenses.

It is that what happens with this disease is incredible, imagine being in a wheelchair and that they tell you there is a solution to be able to walk, but you cannot pay it.And on top of that they tell you "and give thanks that we pay you the wheelchair."Come man.

Anyway, I'm sorry for diverting the thread and I will try to stop giving my opinion about these things because it always seems to be a countercurrent.
I do not want to come to this forum to discuss and less on these issues that in the end does not lead to anything.

The only thing I add is that I think that the video is my daughter and I go crazy with anger.

If that girl had even the free, when scanning after eating and seeing the trend I would have seen that she has screwed her with the dose and would have fixed it on time.
This girl has been able to die , do not forget you, although no one likes to say it.

The trends ... The girl says that she plays basketball, athletes can have very abrupt drops that are not guess in the trends after eating.

And I had the free for 3 months and never any hiccup. Always that marked a drop (low) punctured me on my finger and was 100-120.With what in the end I did not do any case and only when I was trembling I was going to take the Coca-Cola.Like Dexcom is more useful in these cases, I don't know, but in the descents that is for the only thing that wanted it, I disappoint the flash.

What they should explain to that girl's family, is that if they happen again to look at the glucose themselves and to prick him glucagon if necessary.Instead of being the sister (?) Holding her without further ado while fainting, running to put glucagon.Or what you say about honey in the gums, which I did not know.Because as you say if the ambulance had taken longer ...

I can't talk about the precision of free, but Dexcom in low values ​​nails it.Knowing to interpret your clear 10 -minute gap. If you pass from 200 or 250 and a bit of what comes out of the tail.The truth leaves me surprised and has saved me from many.

The fact that it was a low sport had not understood it in the video, so being to catch them a real MCG is needed, there is no other.
I am waiting for me to give me a Aquarius and go to sleep, since today I did a lot of afternoon sport and I already know the story.Soon it will begin to get off 5 in 5 without brakes.I can also put an alarm in 100 and go to sleep, but I hate a lot to wake me up.

The truth is that they didn't put glucagon a little crazy.It will be time for everyone to learn in the family to put it.
The sanitary pasture when it says "is 26" also fabric.He moves the ass that you have the girl spending a terrible man, and you don't know if he is still going down more at a fast pace.

It reminds me that there was an inhaled glucagon in the process of going on sale, to see if it arrives already.

@Sherpa41 is that I understand that an MCG is Dexcom or a flash meter is free is precisely to avoid as much as possible to have a fucked hypoglycemia, which can happen ..?Of course, but for that you have the alarms in the Dexcom and the possibility of spending the reader or the smartphone for the free sensor how many times you want and in any circumstance except sleeping of course it is ..
I will wear about 25 free sensors and any of that has never happened to me, in fact, in low values ​​it is when it gives more in the nail.Collecting the stable blood glucose sensors in my case there have never been differences greater than 40 mg/dl ...

@Arotorias As to the health of the toilet, yes, the people who are on the floor, family, friends, neighbors and others are already attacked from the nerves, it would only be missing that some heart and crushes arrived to solve the subject, this andYou should know better than anyone ..

Well, I do not dare to see the video !!Yesterday I gave it a slight hypo (57) and when I arrived and I saw the face I had, I got bad so if I ever (I hope I don't) I see it collapse bufff
Thank you for the honey advice in the gums although it is clear that the primary is glucagon !!
