FW: [guide-dogs-4-2] The phone call - our adult children

Can anyone help out with this queston? I know there are

some sort of meters that alert when the BG goes down, but am not

familiar with them.

Hi Pat,

Do you know of any monitoring device that would awake someone when

his/her blood sugar is dangerously low? I've included the following

message to illustrate what can happen.

Happy New year, Wish we had off until Jan. 7.

Wow ,

I was in the reverse role this morning. I had to call my mom. Not that

she could do anything, but I just had to tell her about our visit from

the paramedics this morning. She said I must have ESP, because she was

just getting ready to call me. I talked to them very briefly on

Christmas, because I was in transit. We hadn't talked for a while, but

after this latest paramedics stuff, I had to talk. Phil is at work, and

good for him, because this morning, his blood sugar was 26. I never

wake up at that time of day, but two things alerted me something was

wrong. First, Phil began humming and thrashing in his sleep, something

he never does. Second, Garron started whining. This was just too much

insulin. He ate plenty last night. The scary part about this one was

that I couldn't wake him up. All other times, he's been at least

semiconscious, but not this time. They had to give him an IV to revive

him. I can't help asking the " what if I had remained asleep? " question.

My mom said that it's a good thing I'm not going away from him for three

weeks to Seeing Eye, and she's right. I'd be a basket case with him

alone for that long.
