I am a Type I diabetic who experienced hypoglycemia while I was driving. EMT's arrived and started an IV and administered glucose to bring my blood sugar back to normal , success. I was brought to the Midstate ER, and treated with food to further keep my blood sugar from dropping low again. The problem was no one was keeping track of how much food they were forcing me to eat which now caused a seriously high blood sugar, around 500. They solved the first problem which was the low blood sugar, but now created a new problem by over treating causing a high blood sugar. This need not have happened if someone could have kept track of the food amounts and checked my blood sugars appropriately to see where they were going. I felt my care was mismanaged. I checked myself out because I felt I could do a better job fixing the high blood sugar on my own.
