| 63. HEY! Everyone making fun of Matthews KNOCK IT OFF! My son has been very sick with complications |
|
this week. You know what those complications are? THE FLU! And yes, he's had flu shots.
I can't believe some of the responses in this thread, it makes me absolutely disgusted!
When someone with diabetes becomes ill with something like the flu, it becomes a potentially LIFE THREATENING situation.
Blood sugar management becomes EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. My wife and I are exhausted from the frequent glucose and ketone checks. I can't imagine being on your own and being sick with the flu with diabetes. It would be way too easy to slip into diabetic ketoacidosis. You know what the next stage is after that? A trip to the hospital or you could die.
So knock it off with the jokes people. Show some respect and compassion for the sick.
I wish Matthews a speedy recovery and good health.
