EEK!!!!!<br /><br />I gave glucagon for the first time in the 5 years since her dx a few months ago and it's fine with me if we never need it again!<br /><br />I'm so happy to know Glucagon is close by, but it's fine with me if it expires every year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-63262178482143039812011-01-06T15:42:31.959-05:002011-01-06T15:42:31.959-05:00Allow me to add: I will never drink whiskey again....Allow me to add: I will never drink whiskey again.Jacquiehttp://badpancreas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-36103460321401403172011-01-06T15:41:06.056-05:002011-01-06T15:41:06.056-05:00I had to use my glucagon for the first time in ove...I had to use my glucagon for the first time in over 20 years because (and this is really embarrassing), I drank too much last week, came home with the drunk munchies, stuffed my face and bolused for the food, and then threw up. My BG was 48 and I knew there was no way I could keep anything down, so I glucagon'd it. <br /><br />I have to say I'm glad I did, though. I spent 20 years being SO afraid of having to use it, but it was relatively painless, and I feel asleep pretty sure I wasn't going to die in the night.

Just wanted to clarify about the 30s - they lasted about 25-30 minutes and the rest of the two hours were a slow climb north - 42, 55, 57, 68, 72, 81, until we finally got to 96. I didn't want anyone to think we hung out in the 30's for 2 straight hours. If that had happened I might have even shot myself with the glucagon! Sorry if I wasn't too clear in my letter to my little red pal.

It does make me feel better that others have used and blogged about the mini-dosing!<br /><br />I hope you and Sweet Grace are doing ok!! :)LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278430665049354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-69241540086366547922011-01-05T23:23:09.005-05:002011-01-05T23:23:09.005-05:0030's???

NPH and a stomach bug DO NOT mix! I dosed Grace up in the morning to cover her 45 carb lunch and sent her off to school. She was home less than two hours later throwing up - and the NPH hadn't even kicked in yet. I ended up having to give her two mini-doses (7 years old = 7 units x 2) to get her through. That's it so far though.<br /><br />Glad to hear you made it through. Don't you just LOVE force-feeding your child in the middle of the night? Hope Gracie's feeling ok! Send her our love!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301372427216486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-29329217094776155752011-01-05T11:32:13.302-05:002011-01-05T11:32:13.302-05:00(((HUGS))) Sounds like a rough night Penny.

While I'm glad you had Mr. (or Ms.?) Glucagon nearby, I'm glad you didn't have to use him or her. If it's any consolation, I've been at this for 31 years and have never had to use Glucagon. (Please please please don't let that last statement be the jinx that ends my 31 year streak!!)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127384516793565787.post-52483151644972656392011-01-05T09:44:50.969-05:002011-01-05T09:44:50.969-05:00Oy yoy yoy! 30s for 2 hours!?!?

I really found it calming knowing that others had used it without any huge fall out on the other side - it made it less scary. It's good to know that it's there when we need it, just in case.<br /><br />And again - whew!<br /><br />Whew - again.Lorraine of "This is Caleb..."https://www.blogger.com/profile/09315834486942916744noreply@blogger.com
