Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 , As you know I try to follow your post but I must have missed what you said about the hospital. Would you fill me in or direct me to that post? I think I have told you that it took years to get my daughter diagnosed but that was so long ago there should be no excuse for such now. Your care for him is wonderful and that is probably the reason he is doing as well as he is. At age 9 1/2 my daughter weighed weighed 54 pounds and one of my ongoing complaints was lack of weight gain. At diagnosis she was admitted to the hospital, put on insulin and gained 10 pounds in the first week. Betty > He is 7 1/2 and weighs 50 pounds for the last year.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I can't give a suggestion about how to get him to gain weight, but I can explain 'brittle'. A 'brittle diabetic'--and I take it that your pharmacist is an older person, as the term is somewhat out of favor now--is a diabetic whose BS fluxuates widely (or wildly) despite following the program of medication/nutrition set out by the health care team.
