Diabetic folks

My wife suffers a very special kind of diabetics - she has a kind of cancer, called "insulinom".

The hell it is - she could normally eat and drink everything she wants. Now she has an age of 49, is 1.80 m heigh and has a weight of 69 kg, that's normal.

But if the insulinom gets active, it produces insulin masses. Within a few minutes her numbers can drop below 20. normally - for her - is a number between 140 / 160. Until 25 she' s complete clear. Below it she becomes unconcentrated, below 20 she becomes cold out. At this time I try to get her sugar up, water her with accuchek, a high concentrated sugar-suspension that contains 50 x more sugar than coke and fead her with dextrose-pills. If this doesn't work, the last chance is to set a injection of a hormon that fires up her system to burn the last reserves of sugar. In that case she wakes up, but all her sugar is burnt and we've less than 15 minutes to stock up her reserves with lots of chocolate, bread, all that stuff.

Sometimes it rund the other way - suddenly her body doesn't produce insulin and her sugar raises up. Peaks reached more than 700... In that case we do injections...

It's not adjustable by meds, and we have to face that one day in sleep she won't wake up... If I'm not at home...
