I was drinking an Ultra Fuel at the gym and then taking 10 iu : when I got home. Everything was fine before but for some reason today I : got dizzy and very shakey. I tried eating some carbs real quick but I was : still weak. My wife thaught I was going to pass out and called 911. The : paramedics tested my blood and the sugar count was 48 so they urged that : I go to the hospital. : At the hospital I got an IV and basically just sat around for : four hours while the kept chekcing my blood sugar. What really sucked is : when I told the doctor what I had done he just could not believe : bodybuilders were using insulin and he said I was insane. The doctor : advised that using insulin when not diabetic is suicidal. The doctor told : me that 10 units of insulin is a very high dose and that only very bad : diabetics with blood sugar over 400 take more than 10 units. : I'm still not sure what happened, everything was fine before but : this time I got a real scare. Personally I threw my insulin in the : garbage. I hope that other people using insulin be very carefull. : Ray : ------------------------------- : Subject: Re: Insulin SCARE : Date: Thu, 28 Nov 1996 10:25:10 -0400 : From: wbrink@earthlink.net (Will Brink) : Organization: BTS : Newsgroups: misc.fitness.weights : References: 1 , 2 : : In article <ooYnygxyYMaN091yn@interlog.com>, Robert Ames : <amesr@interlog.com> wrote: : > In article <329D5FA9.5EA6@gte.net>, Ray <drcraig@gte.net> wrote: : > : > >I just wanted to let people on this newsgroup know that I just : > >got out of the emergency room. : What are you an idiot?
