Hubby.....

Hi all

So my hubby is not very well - let me explain what has been going on then you can tell me what you think (if you have time) - First off - my husband is a massive drinker........he was a massive smoker too but packed up 5 months ago....

About two years ago he was driving his van and all of a sudden he became confused, clammy, heart pounding, pins and needles etc.... he called the ambulance and they gave him glucose, 40 mins later he was better just wiped out with fatigue - they asked him to go to the Dr for further tests - Head MRI, full blood panel - everything was ok besides his liver function tests as they abnormal because of his drinking.........

About a few months later he started getting the same episodes every few times a month but he controlled it with glucose tablets and energy drink......

Last year, he went to A&E with a stitch like pain on his right upper abdomen - the Dr there said he tore something from coughing too much etc....

To this day he has had this dull pain and it causes tingling in his finger tips - its got to the stage now where he is having episodes everyday and consuming glucose everyday in large qty's.... he has gone to the Dr last week - they did a full panel of bloods on Monday and this morning he has been booked an appointment to see the Dr that ordered the bloods......

I am scared and so worried!

If I think about this - I think its his liver packing up due to alcohol causing the liver not to process sugars properly - what do you think? Some other people think its pre-diabetes.....

Please let me know if anyone reading this has any advice other than he has to stop drinking!
