His initial evaluation with electrocardiogram and blood work to include CK-MB and troponin levels were okay. He was recommended to adjust his insulin better and was sent home on Sunday morning. He has been taking ten units of Lantus since then. Sugar (s/l seldrums) were 90/100. Prior to this episode, he had a few days of hypoglycemia which would not get corrected even after drinking Coke.
