Re: Asenath-High blood sugar/etc.

January 14, 2004

The headaches could be from the high blood sugars.

I'll say an extra prayer tonight for Asenath.

blood sugars? Asenath's have been high for several months now due

to the steroid use. Her fasting blood sugar level was 145 last

Wednesday and today it is 157. It has been up to the 180's and

unless she seems to be getting hypoglycemic with her symptoms stays

above the 120's. The neurologists told me to keep aware of her

numbers because steroids can cause you to become diabetic if you are

prone towards it. Well, I have talked to the doctors about her

regularly high numbers and they keep saying as long as they aren't

continually high don't worry about it. The thing is, they aren't

listening to me because they ARE continually high even when fasting

overnight which we tried last week and got the 145 number. Any

suggestions of what I should do?

> Asenath has also been having more headaches, holding her head

and complaining lots, her pulse ox has been running low, her eyes

have been very heavy looking, and she is constantly clingy, even

holding my hand to fall asleep each night. I can tell she is wiped

out even though she is getting plenty of rest, so I guess we are

hitting one of her bad periods again. Please say a prayer for her

as I know she is struggling and we also are getting a nasty virus

running through the house and I am worried she will get it and of

course worried about possible strokes happening. I am hoping the

headaches aren't a sign that the steroids aren't working.
