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

Ahhh, liverwurst. Since I don't bring foods into the house he can't eat, I miss liverwurst, cheese, peanut butter, hot dogs, lunch meat, and dozens more. He isn't allowed anything whole grain; guess it is harder on the kidneys. It has to be plain white bread, no quick breads because of the baking soda and baking powder. Sometimes I'd kill for a bowl of chili!

I'm finding the thing that raises my BG higher and faster than anything else is whole grain bread or crackers--even the low carb ones. If it were me, I wouldn't have to eat much to bring it up, but carrying a few crackers around would be fairly simple to do. I'm trying to figure what I can put the peanut butter, or liverwurst that I am allowed on!

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?
