Re: OT: I have a question about blood sugar.

He "forgot" to mention it to the doctor at dialysis when he was there yesterday. He's only allowed 40 oz. of liquid a day and already gets that with his meals and medications. I'll have to check on the glucose tablets. Thanks.

Have you let his doctor know about this development?

Possibly fruit juice or those glucose tablets they sell in the drug
stores?

My husband hasn't had diabetes for nearly two years, but for two weeks he has been falling asleep every time he sat still, even at his desk or computer. Finally took his blood sugar before breakfast the other day and it was down to 54. It doesn't vary more than 1 or 2 points.

I've had the same trouble with low blood sugar most of my life, but I don't care about weight gain. With him being on dialysis, it is important.

What can I feed him to raise his blood sugar that won't also increase his weight?
