Re: allargest/blood sugar

[Guest guest]

Cara,

I think that certainly sounds like a reasonable conclusion. I personally am

a big fan of " better safe than sorry " . With or without help from your

doctors you can take steps to ensure stable blood sugar by ensuring

eats every few hours. Good complex carbs and proteins together are the

best. You've already seen what just sugar does! Try peanut butter and

crackers or whole grain bread with cheese. A cheese stick, a few nuts, a

fruit with cheese or peanut butter. It doesn't have to be a lot.

I'd also ask for that glucometer, it may be really important if he gets

sick.

PS We've never been to an Allergist or Immunologist. Remember, Periactin is

an antihistamine, which is the first treatment usually for allergies! Of

course, it's not a very good one, but at least it makes our kids hungry!

However, I have to be careful when Alyssa is sick not to give her cold

medicine with an antihistamine!

hi all,

i have ben following the current post about the blood sugars and

sicknesses and it is almost time for jacob to go for an endo, gi, and

genitic appts they all seem to end up in the same month. well here is my

questions i think i get all reved up at this time you know coveing all my

bases.

first have any of you all taken your child to an

allargest/immunologest. it was some thing that the genitic talke about last

time we went because jacob always seem stuffy and coughs most of the year, i

feel like i need to see if he is on the right meds for this or am i just

medicating for something that now needed any suggestion would help

ok the other thing we were going over bs alot lately and i am thinking

i would like to get the doc on board with the thought that jacob may need a

monitor for bs but i don't think my endo thinks this is a problem for him.

but for example yesterday when i picked him up from school he was so tired

and craby well we got home and my hubbie had brought home some cupcakes from

a staff party at work so jacob eat one and his mood changed and he was

better and then we were working the v-day cards for today to give at school

and i was with my three kids doing them so i have a 3 year old had to " help "

him and a five year old she can write them but i have to spell them out so i

think jacob is fine to do it all he is 9 so we are all working and i glance

over he has done about 5 and he has closed them backwards so the name are

on the inside so as nice as i can i tell him they need to be turned around

and he just has a HUGE meltdown , crying the whole shabang i had to really

settle him down

get him to walk away and all he did not come back to fix them for like 20

mins after i thought this was strange i mean he can get upset but this was

reaaly bad so here is what i thought happpened i think his bs were low he

ate cupcake, sugar spike and fall

what is your opp.

dayna,

yup i am a fan of better safe than sorry too. he do have in his IEP

that he is to have a snack in the am and in the pm but because he is 9 they

think it is up to him to do it him self. some days he is really good about this

and i pack mostly good snack for him like trail mix drinkable yogurt , pb and

cracker, cearal bars and such sometimes he get other not so great thinks such as

a snack cake but you can't win them all i am going to be talking to them very

soon about being more proactive in makeing sure he eats his snacks because it is

not a good system right now they are using. do you think the doc will aggre to

get us a bs monitor it i explane what is happening. i should have explaned in

the post that it is not a normal snack for him to come home from school and get

a cupcake prue sugar he often come home and has a mini supper /meal it was just

a treat because my husband came home with it

as for the allrgey med he is on peractin and flownase(sp?) nose spray and

zertec this is why i want to go to someone that will let us say weed throught.

right now when he get sick there is no more i can do because he is already on

some much

Hi Cara, Your sounds a lot like my Amelia. She will be just

fine one second and then meltdown the next. I just chalked it up to

being three (which I'm sure it partly is) but lately it has started

to worry me because it seems so abnormal. ANYTHING will set her off

even suggesting she use the bathroom. Dr. H has told us to keep a

close eye on our kids blood sugars and has told me to have our local

endo prescribe us a monitor.
