I was admitted to the hospital on Monday with a blood sugar level of 750.

The medical staff here has been tremendous and now my blood sugars are running in the high 200s.

Diabetus is rampant in my family and I knew I would eventually be diagnosed. I didn’t think it was going to be this dramatic

From what I’m hearng I may be a difficult case to manage.

All your prayers greatly appreciated and God bless you all
 
Make sure they check EVERYTHING! The only person I’ve known with blood glucose that high was my brother-in-law. They got it down a bit with insulin, but then found out he had pancreatic cancer.
 
Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death
Amen
 
You are lucky that you didn’t fall into a irreversable coma. That is what happened to my brother a few years ago in South Florida. I was put into the position of having to have the medical personnel “pull the plug” - and it took him 3 + days to die.
Because he fell into a coma over Labor Day weekend, I could not find a priest to go to the hospital to administer the Last Rites. I called several parishes, including the one in Miami that we grew up in. Also, his death co-incided with Rosh Hoshanah that year, and I couldn’t find a coronor to sign the death certificate until after Yom Kipper. They were all out on vacation for the holiday.
So, being a diabetic myself, all I can do is tell you is that prayer can help, but you must religiously watch what you consume and take your meds exactly as the doctor perscribed them. If your doctor says no booze or sweets, believe him. Alcohol is particularly treacherous because if you get high or loaded, you can’t effectively shoot yourself up with extra insulin. It just don’t work that way…That is what happened to my brother. When he was found collapsed on the floor, it was too late.
 
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)

I am glad you are with us! You seem to be receiving great care; your participation is as critical. It will take some time and training, and I know you can do it

My brother’s reached 1000 and doctors do not know why he lived through it.
My brother knows.
And so he became Catholic. 😃
He had literally hundreds of people praying for him, as he works in a company the size of a small city.

My prayers are with you.

:gopray:

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen
 
May God Bless You.

Earlier this year I also was diagnosed as diabetic and my blood sugar was 600+. After about 2 weeks my level had dropped into the low 200s. Now, after 3+ months I am consistently in the low 100s and sometimes below.

With prayer and following your doctor’s advice I know that you too can get down where you can have a wonderful life.
 
I pray for your intentions! :gopray:

Pater noster qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a Malo. Amen
 
Thank you all for the prayers and support.

I am a work in progress 😛 , but the blood sugars are starting to come in line. I am now down into the lower 200’s

See, prayer does work!!

God Bless you all.
 
***Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Wow! :eek: My highest BG was 314 and I was freaking about that! Seriously, I will pray for you to two saints who had diabetes:

Prayer for Those Suffering with Diabetes
O Jesus, You accepted Your suffering so that we might have eternal life. Give our hardship meaning and ease our fears as You turn our suffering into a source of joy. Your servant, St. Josemaría Escrivá, was cured after suffering with diabetes for ten years. He used his many obstacles and physical ailments as a passageway to holiness. Through his experiences You taught him that “sorrow is the touchstone of love.” Overcome our sorrow with Your enduring love and purify us, body and soul. I ask this through the intercession of Mary, Our Mother and St. Josemaría Escrivá. Amen.

Prayer to St. Pauline Visintainer

St. Pauline, you have suffered much in your life, being blind from diabetes. In Heaven, you can see clearly now. Your love for God and for the sick enabled you to endure tragedy. Your example will forever be our vision.

St. Pauline, ask God to give us the strength to sustain this illness, and to allow our bodies to produce energy needed to function. We ask your loving intercession to control our blood sugar and other risk factors, so our bodies will live and we may live to help others.

St. Pauline, intercede to Our Savior to help the newly diagnosed diabetics throughout the world so they may receive both medical and divine intervention.
 
I can’t believe I didn’t mention St. Pauline Visintainer! I “discovered” her last December & started asking for her intercession daily. Since then, I have gotten my diabetes under better control & have actually lost some weight.

For anyone who wants more information on her, write to:

St. Pauline Visintainer Center
1150 Chestnut Street, Box 115
Kulpmont PA 17834

Their phone # is: 570-373-3350

They don’t have an active website.

Her story is very inspiring.

As a fellow diabetic, I will pray that you will be able to stabilize your blood glucose and make the necessary changes in your life-style to keep them stable. All to Jesus through the Hands of Mary.

As a pharmacist working in a hospital I have seen blood sugars as high as a thousand, including pediatric patients. These patients are put on insulin drips and their sugars go down. I suspect your brother-in-law’s pancreatic cancer was incidental to his blood sugar, but I agree get everything checked as diabetes leads to many serious disease states, including cardiac, eye, and kidney problems.

Once my thought process cleared (glucose levels dropping), I asked the Dr. if this could be a sign of Pancreatic Cancer since it all kind of came out of nowhere. Her response was that it was highly unlikely.

You’re right, i was in ICU with an insulin drip for almost 36 hours before I stabilized enough to be moved out of there.

They did do a heck of alot of checking, and found out that at some point, I had a silent heart attack, (minor), but I’m following up with a Cardiologist.

My father used to have two great sayings.
  1. Growing old ain’t for sissies.
  2. The only thing “golden” in your “golden years” is your urine.
Again, thank you all for your prayers and support.

I worked in a hospital and a boy came in with a BG of 4,000.

Naturally, he was admitted and given the proper care. This was an incident that occurred some 35 years ago.
 
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
