There are different types of being ill, for example you could have a cold and feel really run down or you could have accidentally forgotten to take your long lasting insulin and your blood sugars have gone through the roof. In any case there are steps that you should not just panic and think "oh my god nothing is working"
The first step is knowing what is wrong with you, because sometimes they can be mistaken for something else. This has happened to me before when I was been violently sick and my sugars were very high. My mum took me to the hospital to get a. second opinion, they said that my insulin was not working properly so I needed to go on a "sliding scale" to bring me back down. About a week later the same thing happened, turns out it was an allergic reaction to something I was eating whilst at school.
That may have seemed like rambling but it wasn't I have a point and that is not to jump to conclusions about what is happening the best thing to do is keep a check on your blood sugars and keeping a note of them at all times, also it is best if you make a note of what your eating in case it is something you have eaten that does not agree with you. Then that. Way you are able to stay out of the hospital and keep a space open for someone who needs it. Please don't think that this is me telling you not to go to the hospital at all because it isn't, not at all, all I'm saying is think before you leap.
I hope that this post has been helpful, and I do apologise for it been a little short its just that at the moment I am currently completing my first terms of college and I have a lot of work to do, this will carry on for the next two or three weeks as this is when it will stop.
Next time I will be talking about something that will effect women most then men and that is when you are on your period. I would suggest that lads do read it as it will probably explain a lot about your diabetic girlfriend.
