Answers:
Firstly - Regular blood sugars as I've been taught are 65-100 (roundabouts) so I'm not sure that yours could have been .07.
The lowest I've seen on a patient was 13. He was comatose and very near death, fortunately they were able to get his sugars back up and stabilize him.
B. 6-13 drinks a day for a week?! I can't believe you have any recollection of this incident! And ANYBODY could have stolen your money or managed anything else for that matter -- your were passed out. It sounds to me that your are lucky to be alive and should be thankful that they were able to help you on time. Death by alcohol is not uncommon, I think a re-evaluation of priorities and responsibilities is definitely in order!
Lastly: $340.00 sounds INCREDIBLY reasonable for an ambulance visit, plus hydration, plus medication, plus dealing with some drunk kid.
I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but it sounds to me that you may have an alcohol problem that needs to be addressed. For the love of your family, and of yourself, get checked out. if you are going to drink at so young an age, you really need to learn to drink responsibly. You are responsible and accountable for your own actions, even in an altered state of mind.[quote=cdonahue;91]Firstly - Regular blood sugars as I've been taught are 65-100 (roundabouts) so I'm not sure that yours could have been .07.
They were measuring in metric, so I'm not surprised that it was .07. Alcohol can severely lower someone's blood sugar. It sounds like you had alcohol poisoning. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I think this may teach you a lesson about drinking and how it can ruin your life.
