This was a horrendous experience.  I came in with my blood sugar over 500, hoping that i would be given insulin to bring it down to a manageable level, but was told to go home and contact my primary care physician since insulin would only help once and then my blood sugar would be back at 500 again the next day.   I had to go to another ER - St. Nicholas in Sheboygan where they game me 1 bag of saline and gave me 10 units of insulin plus a prescription for a 1 month supply of insulin.  My primary care physician was able to then monitor and direct the insulin dosage to get my numbers back down to normal after a couple more days.  The ER doctor and my primary care physician both were scratching their heads about the care I received at Sheboygan Aurora hospital ER.  I sure won't be returning!
