@badradger saidTop bunk and liquor don't mix. Though, they come equipped with side rails for a reason.

Karma strives to remain in balance. Maybe you're due for some good now.
Unless , of course, you've been real bad.

@badradger saidHypoglycemia makes sense. But so does orthostatic hypotension.

Anyway, diabetes sucks. It's a pain in the ass. But, with good control...it's not a death sentence.
Just be sure to follow your basal guidelines for insulin. (Especially if checking glucose on a sliding scale.)
Eat small frequent meals during the day and also have some form of quickly dissolved candy (glucose) nearby at all times.
You can do it man. You're not alone.

@badradger saidI thought the institution beds would have those pop-up sides or maybe some restraining straps.

OK, OK man. No need for shouting. Take your metoprolol and have a diet coke. Things will get better. I promise.
