Is or has she been on Seroquel? It is known to cause

diabetes in some.

Aida,

I didn't recognize some of the meds your Mom is on. I kept Mom off meds. Maybe

someone will have some answers. Wish I could help. Have you looked in the

" Links " at the bottom of the messages. I don't remember this coming up in our

talking. You might want to go into Yahoo and do a seach in the messages. It

just doesn't sound familiar. Sorry!

Hugs,

Donna R

Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in

a nh.

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.

High Blood Sugar Levels?

My Mother was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. She was admitted

about nine months previously with similar symptoms. Things were stabilized for

her at the hospital with much vigilance from us. She returned home.

The concern and question that I'd like some feedback regarding is as

follows. They have tested her blood sugar and found it to be high. Insulin has

been

administered. Giving of insulin is a first for her. Her medications include

albuterol, atrovent and solumetrol (sp). She is regularly on Namenda and

risperdal. She is being weened from the solumetrol with orally administered

prednisone. I am aware that medications and steroids especially, raise the

blood

sugar level.

Has anyone experienced the blood sugar rising so dramatically? There is no

history of diabetes? Any feedback is very much appreciated? Thank you
