A work colleague was taken ill at work on Friday and taken off to hospital by his dad.
He is still in, apparently his heart rate was high, but he has also been diagnosed as type 2 diabetes, his blood sugar upon admission was apparently 22.

The mrs has type 2 also, but I have never seen her this high.

The chap at works speech got progressively worse over the preceding couple of days ( has does not have the best speech, so we did not notice initially) my thoughts when he was taken away was possibly a stroke (although we did the basic checks and all seemed fine)

How dangerous is 22?

still no word on how he is... hope to know more later.

I think he was confusing the symptoms of high sugar with low sugar... I saw at least one bottle of glucose drink get consumed the morning he was ill... and I am sure that this was a contributing factor.
