I was just wanting to know if anyone can explain what HONK Please?...Last night on Casualty they featured a lady, oldish, who was admitted with Gangreen (Spelling may not be correct) Feet, and said that she had been neglecting herself ad that she was suffering with HONK....When they went back to the ladies house she had all biscuits and so forth on the side!...She was Type 2 Diabetic, they did'nt say what treatment she was having, anyway, the lady died of a silent something?....It was to do with her heart
I looked up Honk and it said hat is was a condition that occured of severel weeks, and that the Blood sugars ranged from 40mml/60mml?....I don't undersand the conversion from 40MML/60MML, to how we would read it?
I just felt really worried after watching the programme, I am trying to reduce my Insulin so I can lose some weight so my sugars have been higher...but I have lost 5lb, no food change, just reduced Insulin....Now I am worried that I may become ill as I try to reduce it more, but I can't cope wit this weight gain, I've put on almost a stone in weight since starting the Insulin, my joints can't cope....
Any thoughts please?.....Love Ellowyne xXx
