Any ideas

[Guest guest]

Hi

I just wanted to let everyone know the endocrineologist has finally

agreed on what I know.

He says has hypoglacimia and when it gets low enough to

start a seizure then his blood sugar rebounds to the high numbers

the seizure forces the pancreas to kick in. I still dont quite

understand that but do. I guess I have a lot more of researching and

studying to do.

My question that the endo is not answereing is this maybe you all

will have an idea of something to try.

starts school on Aug.30 in just a couple of weeks. School

is where I have the most problems with the sugar dropping.

He will get up at 6am and eat 1/2 a bowl of cheerios with milk in it

no sugar. Then he will go to school and at 800 he will eat breakfast

at school a typical one would be a biscuit and gravy a piece of

whole wheat toast and a small glass of choclate milk. At 1130 he

will eat lunch one day it was a slice of pizza 6 fries an orange

slice and a cup of chocolate milk. He will then go outside and play

for recess and he plays hard hes a typical 6 year old in by 1230he

will then have math on that day and 1/2 hour later he gets a

headache and is feeling dizzy and we take his bloodsugar and it is

below 60 andy where from 29 to 55 give him juice and peanutbutter

crackers and the headache and all stops and his blood sugar will go

up to 110 in about a half hour and by 300 he is at 75.

He is home then so I can get it up. Is there anything I can do to

help maintain his bloodsugar so it dosnt drop after recess . Is it a

good idea for him to maybe have a small glass of juice after recess??

Any ideas are appriciated.

They dont want to put him on any other meds for 3 months they want

us to try useing different foods in the diet. I cant get into the

endocrineologist for 3 months in Boston.

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, I ignore him but have

wanted to come back with many things.
