Hi All,

Marks, Blood Sugars are staying high. This was the main reason I felt he was released too soon. He has never taken any medication for his diabetes, it has always been diet controlled. His blood sugars never have run this high! They have been between 213-422, since coming home. They should have monitored the insulin dosage and blood sugars, a day or 2 since he is new to the insulin. I am just feeling frustrated over this.

Hugs

Hi Teresa,I'm sorry to hear Mark's sugar levels remain high. I hope they return to normal soon. I can imagine how stressful & frustrating this must be for you.Does Mark have a follow-up soon? Have you's heard anymore at all about the possibility of a transplant? Take care. my thoughts & prayers are with you Mark & Michael. Hugs. later...

Hi Teresa,

I'm sorry Mark's blood sugars remain high. Is he eligible for home heallth services? They could come out and monitor his levels.

Please take care of yourself; we love you.

Hugs and prayers,
Ma

Hi Ma,

There is really no need for home health yet. We are monitoring the blood sugars ourselves which is three times a day, we keep a log on it. We have a couple of appointments next week, it will need to be adjusted, the dosage is just not enough. They will probaly get a call in the morning, from me! Love you and Pa!

Hugs and Prayers

Hi Theresa, I'm glad to know Mark is doing better and is home. As always, you're in my thoughts and prayers. Take things one day at a time, that's the best thing any of us can do for our loved ones going through these health crisis. Take care and be strong.

Hi Trish,

Mark's saw his primary care physician yesterday and he has decided to put Mark on humolog with a sliding scale before each meal and lantus at bedtime. So we will see how this does on the blood sugars. I am keeping my fingers crossed! It is very frustrating, but I can handle it! Thanks!:)

Hugs Teresa
