Diabetes, Type 2
"I gave myself an injection of the medicine in my doctor&#039;s exam room under the direction of the drug rep following instruction on administering the drug and diet instruction.  No one checked my blood sugar level nor my medical history.  I assumed the injection was safe because my doctor allowed the rep to give it to me.  The next morning I awoke to a panicked husband because I was thrashing about in the bed and he could not waken me. He had given me a peppermint orally and called 911.  I could see his face but could not speak to respond to him.  My feet and legs were cramping but I could not communicate this to him nor my daughter.  The EMTs gave me glucose and I recovered quickly.  My husband and daughter fearfully watched me for weeks."
