Oatmeal is a good one, it's a healthy grain (as long as you don't get the sugary kind). Personally, I like to get plain oatmeal and put fruit in it for my sweets. Mangoes are good, so are bananas and/or strawberries. You could do Kiwi, although I haven't tried that one yet. Sometimes I will...

Yeah 211, is something to keep an eye on, but certainly not in a danger zone. As JustDucky said, Mine have approached 500mg/dl (when insulin resistant on steroids). You have to at least be that level to worry about DKA (or sugar shock). I had a patient once who was fully awake and talking to...

I was being wheeled into the OR for sinus surgery. For safety they always ask what you are having done, so I replied "left frontal sinusotomy with turbinate reduction and septoplasty." They somehow took offense at that and told me that I wasn't a paramedic in this situation. I corrected...
