Her blood sugar levels have been running normal in mornings but by noon the past couple of days have been over 500! She is on 15 units insulin (novolin N) daily… ( 5 more units at lunch, if it’s high) We’ve been to dr./hospital all afternoon today… did bloodwork there’s nothing (else)”wrong” causing sugar levels to soar. I’m not a nurse nor a dietician… I feed her 2 meals daily.. ( other person feeds her supper) I have been basing meals on total grams sugar per serving on cereal in mornings… just realized that the carbs and starches will turn to sugar! I feel somewhat responsible for this bacause I just didn’t know (neither did she!) I could read from now till doomsday… but would appreciate some knowledgable person suggesting a very simple menu for me to follow. she eats toast with sugarfree jelly at lunch, sometimes… the bread is carbs, right? I’m just confused and time is of the essence… I appreciate any and all comments!
I was hired because her levels would DROP.. and she’d be “out of it”…. I knew what to do to get it up quickly… but now that it’s running much higher, was unsure of a quick fix to pull them down… (yes, I just left the dr’s office… they did tests but were so busy… too busy! ) besides a new dr.. can you please help us??
