Aug 2014

In 2009 I was told that i had DIABETES. No one in my family has it. I was taking 1500mg of Seroquel. That is what gave me this. This was in November of 2009. In December of 2009 I was passing out at 170. My dog wakes me up when this happens to me. Any way my room mate is type 2 she gave me insulin and I was fine. I went to my doctors and I had to tel him 3 times that something was not right. You see my number are great. However I get to 170 or higher and I am in big trouble. My doctor said to me (You are now on insulin have an nice day) My room mate told me want to do. She told me how to eat and everthing. My doctor did not do a thing for me. I now have an better doctor. Every time I pass out I hope that Scruffy my dog can wake me up again. I some time tell myself that I am fine until something happen. I don't want to die or anything and I don't want this shit. I can reminber when I was fine not now I have to wach every thing that I do. My other meds messes with my Diabetes and that sucks. I pass out at lease 3 to 4 times an day. My speacialist wants to take me off of my insulin cause of my number being so good. But my body says something different. I am worry that one day I will pass out and not ever wake up. I HATE THIS SHIT.
