Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi, , when the endo asks you again about where you got your medical training tell him the URS...(University of Reality Situations) as for keeping 's sugars up, get some of those little juice packets... I forget what they are called, the ones in the little foil packs, but have him drink one of those after recess, that should take care of the problem...the teacher can either keep it at her/his desk, or can in his backpack...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi , Have to take a squeeze tube of icing with him to school and keep a supply with his teacher. You may want to keep a monitor at school just in case. Tell the doctors you are getting on the job training (OJT) and support from All Diabetic International.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 , I think the best way to combat hypoglycemiz is the intake of food often. You can probably asses pretty good wheather he needs a glucose snack or protein or both. From what I have seen of hypoglycemics small, frequent, intake is best. As for as " where did you get your degree " once a doctor informed me that HE would do the adjusting. I said here is my track record, can you beat that? That worked for me at least that time. I think you are on the correct track. Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi . Can the shool nurse check his sugar levels after lunch and his PE classes? I thought they were responsible to do this with diabetic children. They should be able to save him some food for a snack after lunch and bring it to him. How is doing today? School has started here already.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi , I agree putting a face with the names is very nice. I look forward to seeing more from the rest of the family here.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 , I would look for a new endo, or confront this one with the facts. If he doesn't like it, then perhaps his ego is not humble enough to fulfill his obligations as a 'healer'. ' health and well being is far too important to let someone who is more concerned about himself than your son. And for those who complimented me on my family, thank you so very much. I hope we can get more pictures up from our members? Hmm? And for those who asked, no, I am not married (sigh). Thanks to those who are responding to the newbies-what goes around, comes around-the kindness and helpful suggestions for them, and everyone else, is greatly appreciated by all. Peace to all our members, Jamez ADI Moderator sanborn51@... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/alldiabeticinternational/ Opinions expressed are solely my opinion and should not be mistaken for professional medical advice. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 > Is it a > good idea for him to maybe have a small glass of juice after recess?? > Any ideas are appriciated. > Yes. I work out very hard at the gym, and I drink half a powerade before and half a powerade after 45 min of cardio, before I do the weights. I think the juice would help, or milk and a pack of crackers. Also what insulin is he on. I have seen a DRASTIC difference in my numbers and (knock on wood) no hypos since going on lantus/novalog. the novalog 70/30 almost killed me. Also have they tried lowering his dose? What about the pump, I think the basal can be turned down/off during exercise. << If he starts a seizure withen 5 min his blood sugar will hit 400 and he is unconsious. I think the endocrineologist we have here is a putz. He gets upset with me when I ask questions and says to me where did you get your medical training,>> OOHHH I hate doctors like that. I would say find a new one. You need someone to help you and your son, not someone to be a condesending arse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 , How are you and doing? Boos to your endocrineologist. He should be answering your questions. That is what he is paid to do.
