diabetes: you're doing it wrong.

so this patient was a long time diabetic who got transferred from ICU after being found face down in the cold unresponsive earlier that morning.  the guy apparently took his am insulin, and never got around to eating any food with it.  why?  because he "musta got busy doing somethin".  something like what, you ask?  

"oh i don't know, maybe i was playin with my cat or somethin".  

yes.  yes, playing with your cat is a great reason for a hypoglycemic coma.  

i was laughing so hard i had to leave the room.  

seriously, now.  you've been diabetic for near EVER, you know that kitty play time needs to wait until after you eat your breakfast.  do better.
