My Dad is in the hospital right now because the doctor wanted him to lose wt so he quit eating and taking his meds. My sister found him incoherent with a BS of 37. Since being in the hospital his BS keeps crashing like down to 22 and is in kidney failure.

Im waiting now for a call to fly out...

My Grandmother had that happene for a month or so...she kept crashing, and they kept reviving her despite her DNR...she was 92 and went on to live another year!

I will keep your Father and family in my thoughts, and if you don't mind I will add Him to my prayers.

Thanks Tink. My sister just called and she is getting me a flight to San Diego friday morning.

i picked up some of this today at whole foods on my way to a pet sitting account. though i'm not trying to lose weight, it still makes sense for any 'body' to not cause unnecessary spikes in blood concentrations of insulin and glucose.

Ms. Tink,

Dad came home tonight, and Timber's there with him. His crashes weren't cardiac crashes, but blood glucose crashes. He's never gone into cardiac arrest, but they have determined that he's had two mild heart attacks. We are grateful for any prayers and/or positive energy sent on his behalf.

Timber arrived in San Diego yesterday, and will return to Houston next Friday. There is no internet access at Dad's house, so I will keep everyone posted, via my phone conversations with Timber.

Blessings to you all.

went to the hospital the other night, because of some infected teeth I developed. They put me on penicillin, and ever since I've been taking the antibiotics, my b.s has been unusually high. This morning for instance I took it at my normal time, and it was 348, and I didn't eat or drink anything.

Anyone else have this issue when taking antibiotics?

Yep, every time. Steroids are even worse.....

[Andrew, Jr.]

I am ok on antibiotics. Now steroids my numbers go up to the 400's+. I just hate this disease. It is a major pain in the butt.

I am eating more fruit and veggies than ever before, and my numbers are dropping again. But time will tell. *deep sigh

Yes...and also fighting an infection will spike your blood sugar levels as well...even if it's in your teeth.

I'm working on eating more veggies...and trying to make my treats things that help me instead of hurt me, like a glass of red wine.

My health coach (who is also a nutritionist) also recommends the "half a plate of veggies" technique, as well as making snacks mostly veggie. He recommended that I do the veggie preparation (washing, peeling, chopping) as a part of unpacking and putting away the groceries...then I'm more likely to grab vegetables for snacks since the work is already done. So far, it's helping. Having a big ziploc bag of cauliflower florets, celery and carrot sticks, etc. means that I reach for those to munch on instead of heading for the potato chips or cookies.

Every little bit helps.

Wishing you all and good health.

Just get back with it....over time a blip is just that, a blip. It is the long haul that matters with this disease.
