She's been in there for 3 days now, she was in a partial coma due to her sugar being really high.

She can't really talk, doesn't know who people are, can't feed herself either.

Her and i are close because she's my only sister but i don't know if i could handle seeing her like this.

A lot of young people don't go to the doctor until the very last minute these days because of costs associated with healthcare.

I took my mom's leftover antibiotics when I had strep last time to get out of paying for urgent care/prescriptions.

DKA is sometimes the first presenting symptom of diabetes

Assuming she doesn't go to the doctor to get her A1C checked yearly, diabetes was never diagnosed in the first place.

My father didn't go in until his blood sugar was like 525. Which is about 4-5 times what it should be.

Generally speaking shouldn't there be no left over antibiotics? I thought they only give you what you need and you are supposed to take them all. Your mom helped make superbugs!

I was recently diagnosed with type 2.

Just felt weird and was super thirsty. It was 500. Really didnt feel bad tho so i can see how it can sneak up on people. Especially when you dont fit the typical type 2 lifestyle.

Yeah, this.

I cut through a big portion of my finger on a job(cut myself from the nail down toward the knuckle in the skin-flapping-off kind of way) and just bandaged the hell out of it.

Wound up going to hospital a couple days later because it'd still bleed kinda bad at times. They told me to bandage it and keep it clean, looked at it for about all of 15 seconds, and billed me 600 dollars because they fucked up putting my insurance info in.

Healthcare in america is a fucking nightmare even for simple shit.

My girlfriends father went through something similar. He went to the hospital around three times for various major symptoms and they sent him home each time. It wasn't until a next visit a doctor actually had the brains to test him for diabetes and low and behold that's what it was

I did that at work a few months ago too, it was still pouring blood an hour and a half later so I went to urgent care and they put a pressure bandage on that I had to wear for 72 hours. I cut a chunk of skin right off at the base of my nail so they couldn't even stitch anything

I nearly put myself into a diabetic coma once but once it got to the point I honestly felt like curling up into a ball and dying I went to a damn doctor. Sure the El cheapo clinic that only charges me 20 bucks a visit but I went.

Thank God I did. After the second visit I was told all I had to do was change my diet and i wouldn't need any medication for it. So 2 visits at 20 a pop and I caught the problem before it became a life long problem of constantly having to pay for a prescription.

It's not really a law enforcement matter... it's the state medical board that deals with this sort of thing
