Blood Sugar Level

 

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.
