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.
