Hi. Thank you for getting back to us. Am so glad you did get him to the hospital quickly. It won't be easy days ahead, but he is alive and in good hands it seems. I hope he can make a good recovery. Look after yourself too. Not easy having your husband so sick.
thankyou glad I listened to you. hes in coronary care he has had a DKA which is unusual for type2
this has cause a heart attack with a heart rate of 30 so they put a tube down through his throat next to fit a temp pacemaker which seems to have kickstarted it and hes now levelling at 60
they main problem now is renal failure but they need to stabilise him first before they consider dialysis which will happen today if he can tolerate it.
must say medical staff has been first class or he would have been dead now. will keep you all informed.
Please let us know what happened. Is all ok?
This sounds like diabetic ketoacidosis (combination of dehydration, high blood sugar, being sick).
Him being argumentative and not wanting assistance is part of it.
But this is life threatening and he may go into a coma and could die.
Please get immediate medical attention (ambulance) as is your instinct. Better safe than sorry.
Please get back to us after you have gotten assistance to let us know you're husband is ok.
Hi,
As posted above, please call an ambulance immediately, as this may be life threatening and needs immediate assistance.
Please let us know later how your husband is doing.

Please call an ambulance now. Don't listen to him. This is a medical emergency.
