I'm assuming you're ending up in the hospital because of high blood sugar, so if that's the case, perhaps you need to change what it is you take medication-wise. For example, metformin is often prescribed for type 2 diabetes but is also taken by type 1 diabetes patients. Its overall effect is enhancing the effect of insulin, so you can take less. I don't know if you're on it or not but Lantus insulin (day-lasting) can also help to buffer the blood sugar throughout the day. Correct me if I'm wrong though if you're going into the hospital for other reasons or if you take metformin already.


I can rip you off, and steal all your cash, suckerpunch you in the face, stand back and laugh. Leave you stranded as fast as a heart-attack.
