Uncontrolled Diabetes

Today I had a patient who had a history of diabetes but had quit taking he diabetic meds years ago and was not being monitored by a doctor. So I thought I should probably check her blood sugar. I did and it was at 450. I couldn't believe it. That is like your going to the emergency room high! We immediately sent her to go see one of the midtown doctors to be treated and I was left with bno patient. I guess that is better than having her go into a coma in my chair though. I'm glad I checked and learned the value of the health history.
