A few years ago, I passed out at home. My wife called an ambulance,
and I was admitted to a hospital. I was in the intensive care unit and was
completely unconscious for a week.
The reason was acute diabetes. I drank too much soda at the time.
Have you thought about your blood sugar level? Healthy people usually never
care about that. Their blood sugar level might be around 80–99 mg/dl. A patient
with a serious diabetic condition might have a level of around 800 mg/dl.
When I had arrived at the hospital, a doctor checked my blood sugar
level. I was passed out, so I listened to the doctor later. My record was 2,154
mg/dl.
The doctor was surprised and said, “I have never seen such a figure!” The
doctor then said to my wife, “Tonight would be the most critical stage of his
illness.”
I survived, but I was completely unconscious for a week. The doctors
and nurses worked hard to make me feel better, and then sometime the next week,
I regained consciousness. I had had a narrow escape. After a few weeks, I was
almost fine. I would leave the hospital before long.
The doctor came to my sickroom and said, “Your case is really rare. I
want to write a treatise about you and publish it at a conference. Could you
give me your signature on the document and permission to use your data?”
I wanted to contribute to medical science. I happily signed. Maybe at
some medical conference, my data might surprise many doctors.
Don’t drink too much soda.
