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

Thanks Su. The blood bank gives orange juice (which is too high in potassium), but he is allowed apple juice. By the time he takes his meals and medicine, he's already reached the maximum fluid intake, but, if this doesn't improve by this afternoon, the limits will have to be raised a bit. The protein powder would stil push the protein limit for the day, but that limit may have to go by the wayside too temporarily.

I appreciate the sites you've given. If I can just get him to feeling less tired and weak we might be able to ward off another fall to the floor. The last time it led to a broken and split left femur and a year I wouldn't want to repeat in this lifetime. Thanks so much for the information.

From what I can tell about renal problems, protein intake has to be restricted. OTOH, protein stabilizes your blood sugar. So, how do we get the square peg in the round hole?
