cold :(

and annoyed at people moaning about Ana's botox, she can do what she wants and if people dont like it, tough cookie

Aye same here... At least you agree with my comment =]]

 

Dude your just the person I need... I am doing my First Aid unit and there is domething about diabetics and I need a lil help.. Could you possibly help me please?

;) coolness

 

yeah sure, what you wanna know?

Right we got to choose what we wanted to do an poster on about the causes of unconsciousness and the treatment and I choose to right about this.

I am trying to gain as much information as I can on what to do if someone goes into a hyperglycaemic coma and a hypoglycaemic coma, I have wrote about the differences what they are and how they can be recognised but what is the treatment of them?

well i dont actually know much about the coma aspect of it but know a little bit

hyperglycaemic is if my blood sugars get too high and treatment for this includes being given intravenous fluids to restore water to my tissues. i may need potassium, sodium or chlorine supplements to help my cells function correctly. When enough fluid has been replaced, short-acting insulin can help my tissues absorb glucose again. Any underlying infections will be treated as well.

Hypeglycaemic if my blood sugars get too low and treament is the hormone glucagon can be injected to quickly raise my blood sugar level.

 

 

i am glad i have never gone into a diabetic coma but a few times have had a hypo which is when my blood sugars go too low and i feel shakey and thungry. normally i am awake and can sort myself out but if it happens when i am alseep i have a nightmare and wake up with very bad shakes and need my mum or someone to give me a sugary drink because i am confused and too shakey

 

hope it helps a bit
