Google tells me this is an acute complication of untreated Type 2 Diabetes. If you have Diabetes and really never saw a doctor, it wouldn't be surprising for you to have a whole bunch of stuff going wrong. It sounds like despite seeking medical care and having an apparent diagnosis, that you are still not being treated for diabetes. That would seem to be an important step (along with plenty of IV fluids). "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I think it's obvious. OP has been diabetic for years if not decades, and has done nothing to treat his condition. Then he starts having problems associated with being diabetic and wonders where all the problems are coming from, so he blames the medical community. I'll bet he's as vauge with them as he is with us. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Maybe, maybe not. But it likely isn't his fault My step dad had diabetes most of his life, and most of the side effects that went along with it. With my mom's help, he did almost everything he was supposed to to control it the last 12 years of his life. He had many ER vists, a couple of heart attacks, numerous co-morbitities, etc. He had doctors appointments weekly at least, and was very well cared for, to the extent possible, for his various conditions. One day when he fell at home due to an almost-undetectably low blood sugar, the paramedics took him to the closest hospital (closed head injury) rather than the hospital where all of his doctor were based, the ER docs wanted to start at square zero. They wanted to work him up for every possible illness, suspect elder abuse, poisoning, etc. They were fixated on the necrosis in his foot, even though my mom told them that he was already scheduled to have it amputated in two days. It was impossible to dissuade them, no matter how many times we told them he was already receiving regular medical attention. Even when his own doctors requested that he be transferred, it took management intervention to make it happen. They were convinced there was something we weren't telling them because his BS wouldn't come up, even though my sister kept explaining that they were giving him one tenth the glucose they needed to. That was with my mom--with all of his medical records and doctor's names, his lawyer  , and my sister--a registered dietitian and diabetes specialist, in the ER with him. If we had not been there, he likely would have come to feeling very much like the OP, and with many, many unnecessary tests. If the OP's diabetes is not being controlled or even treated, this probably happens to him regularly, and worse.According to the Merck Manual, the symptoms of the OP's condition include disorientation and confusion. But it's apparently an acute condition that is treatable by getting his blood sugar under control and IV hydration. Hopefully one of the members who he's contacted can encourage him to go to an ER and tell them that he has untreated type 2 diabetes. An ON DUTY paramedic and an ambulance ride are indicated. And don't launch into the whole backstory. Let them deal with the emergency. Then he needs regular care from an endocrinologist.

I'm still here, but I am not going to post on any other topic on SIGforum until whenever. I am tempted, but it seems like a bad idea to respond to prior posts on this topic at this time since I am just creating more confusion and speculation in my responses. (By that, I mean quoting, rebutting, bantering and such.) "at this time" means that I finally have gall bladder removal surgery scheduled on Jan. 16, 2018. This is a trivial surgery, and my only concern is that the surgery does not occur. Type II diabetes, which I had to diagnose myself despite many and many expensive truthful consultations, is well under control due to copious amount of insulin which was finally prescribed. To my friends: I appreciate the well wishes, concerns and jokes. To included and else interested: I had to leave everything behind and have been living in a motel room in Texas for 3 months now. Since I have been here, I have told by a surgeon that I will certainly die if surgery is performed to remove to my gall bladder. This opinion was concluded elsewhere, but I was also told that my gall bladder was not the problem. Then at another appointment I was told to seek emergency treatment as my life was at risk a month ago for another reason. Finally, I find another surgeon has no problem with gall bladder removal surgery since he knows that it is an easily fixed problem. And now I have learned that my stepfather, who has been my driver, has an oncology appointment in 2 weeks. When I called him to ask about the reasons for his appointment, he did not even know that his oncology appointment existed. I still think that I need "outside" help here. | |||

Yeah, when you can tell us in a clear and unambiguous fashion just what that is, you let us know. Until then, no one here knows what you're asking for when you say "outside help". | |||

Been following this thread since it started. Thought when OP started being more clear I would understand what was going on. If he has had Diabetes tyoe 2 that has been untreated for years that will cause many problems. Whether it has caused all his problems or not who knows. | |||

Damn, my computer went down in December and finally got it fully going today and have only been casually dropping in on the forum by phone and have missed this whole thing while it was unfolding...what a thread. This one will definitely go up there with some of the best. Freedom comes from the will of man. In America it is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment | |||

If it reads "Drink More Ovaltine", I'm going to be pissed. Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you. | |||

"Outside help" means my existing family consists of 3 people of only 1 can drive, but I have now been told of his oncology appointment. This means that I cannot count upon a reliable driver. My body only works randomly now, and I need a reliable driver. I know with documented certainty that medical malpractice mutilated me. I am being confronted with mixed opinions about my premature death. I do not not want to die without the truth of what happened to me in Washington being told. None of the 3 family members can understand what happened to me. The medical community in Texas is grasping at what happened to me over an extended period of time in Washington. I noticed that police are abundant nearby. I was thinking of visiting the Sheriff's Department and asking for help there, which is why I started this topic. Then I noticed that this small town has police and maybe just one officer. Anyone with a sense of justice and compassion would be helpful to me. I did not chose this small town in Texas by accident. I know this area well. I did go into the 3 room city town hall, but the police department is just a small administrative room. I should have left my phone number with the two nice ladies in town hall who do not live here and requested a call from the small town police. All that I need is someone that can both understand and care to come into this room and understand my situation. With a connection to a paramedic, then I would not need to teach about biology and medicine. I am thinking and problem solving on your forum with legal concerns hindering public clarity. Since I trust your judgement, should I post those publicly available URLs which I provided to you to help clarify part of what happened to me? That guy is fair and justifiable game, but this is your forum. | |||
