Christa and Aralion,
Aralion,….with your daughter, when she has a headache test her
blood for a low, a tummy ache or any other complaint ALWAYS test her
blood for a low. Waking up in the middle of the night,….test her
blood for a low. Sounds repetative but I cannot emphasize it enough.
Christa,…how nice to look after your mother. For what monitors for
blood testing is concerned see my posting below. Neuropathy can delay
the food processing in the stomach and also can cause trouble that
way in the abdominal section. It certainly plays havoc with the
bloodsugars. It can be caused by her bloodsugar being low. Read the
above to Aralion.You may go to the doctor with a list of the drugs
she is using and ask if some may be removed. Doctors are not knowing
what they have prescribed in the past and it may not be needed
anymore. To many drugs cause problems. I hope you acquired a drug
profile book and you can see if some drugs may not go together. I
have designed “Rules for the diabetic” with I can send to you per e-
mail. It is very usefull and written by a diabetic having dia for 42
years, namely me. It’s free of course.
The 30/70 insulin hems a person in and may not be what the dia
needs. Maybe more long acting is required or more short acting and
you can’t adjust with 30/70. Her mind could be affected by too many
lows. We all have to be alert as to that possibility.
My e-mail address is Jovan@… or you can find me here
on “Emotions”. Please put Emotions on the subject line.
