To Drink or Not to Drink When You’re High

Yesterday I wrote a post about things that I do when my blood sugar goes really high, over 400.  I received some comments and some tweets about my own way of handling this situation, especially # 4 which was don’t drink water.  A lot of people had said that they do the exact opposite and drink as much water as possible to flush all the ketones out.  I have heard that as well, so I am not going to try and dispute those that said that.  I was twice told otherwise, but that doesn’t mean that is the correct answer either.

When it comes to diabetes, there are a lot of generalizations that go for everybody, however there are a lot of things that are completely different between each person.  For instance, some people are fine with eating pizza, I can’t eat pizza without going over 350 blood sugar levels.  So this is where I am going to give my MTV version of their Jackass disclaimer, don’t try this at home.  This works for me, and that’s the bottom line, it may not be good for you to do it or for a friend or family member to do it.

Only two more days until vacation, so if you have a guest post, please send it to me asap so I can get it scheduled.
