E. has had some periods of unexpected crazyness, with basals drastically dropping to a little more than half her normal basals... first time it was prior to Hashimotos diagnosis when blood sugars go high, then drop and keep dropping. More recently there was no explanation. I allow myself to believe that it is evidence their beta cells still produce insulin (as some researchers think)... frustrating, but that thought makes me feel better. Hope that the low periods are evidence of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-25563412016803052442009-02-05T04:08:00.000-05:002009-02-05T04:08:00.000-05:00That's a difficult situation.

We were told to give him anything he wanted to eat, take him for ice cream anything but not correct. Being sick, he didn't want any ice cream or anything. We couldn't get him out of the 50's.<BR/><BR/>One thing that I was told in Florida (and I don't know if that's possible or not) was that we shouldn't hesitate to give them the gel or the tablets. The educator there told me that the juice one day may not do what it's suppose to. But I don't know...<BR/><BR/>Good luck :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-67245147494023013032009-02-04T22:17:00.000-05:002009-02-04T22:17:00.000-05:00Wow - that's some crazy lowness going on!

What I do is give him his food and then wait an hour, check the sugar and see if he needs any insulin. Most of the time he does not. Also with corrections I take the correction down to 1/4 of the dose. This usually passes about 3-5 days after the tummy bug. <BR/><BR/>I am glad he is feeling better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-81536627709171883552009-02-04T16:55:00.000-05:002009-02-04T16:55:00.000-05:00You must be exhausted, just reading about your mat...You must be exhausted, just reading about your mathematical gyrations was tiring.

Lunch yesterday at school was almost exactly the same experience and his blood sugar never did go high after consuming three juice boxes, 2 glucose tabs and crackers! Today, we reduced his lunch insulin/carb ratios from 1/15 to 1/25. (we are not pumping)Two hours later he was 65. Not as bad but WOW! Alex had a similar stomach bug last year at this time and it took about two weeks to fully recover and absorb food normally again. Here's hoping Riley's appetite returns soon!<BR/><BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-60026929900393381192009-02-04T15:04:00.000-05:002009-02-04T15:04:00.000-05:00{{{HUGS!!}}} A mom in our church had something si...{{{HUGS!!}}} A mom in our church had something similar happen after her daughter had the stomach bug. She ended up calling her endo after an enormous amount of carbs with little to no movement. The endo said something about the body becomes super sensitive to insulin after a stomach bug...or something like that....ugh..I wish I could remember the reason...but at any rate, I'm glad you were able to keep on top of it!!Lynneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839707567928261496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-80934432888236579322009-02-04T14:33:00.000-05:002009-02-04T14:33:00.000-05:00Oh Penny!

We had this same situation when Maddison had vomiting back in November. <BR/><BR/>I guess they say since the stomache is sick it isn't digesting the carbs or absorbing them until the tummy is back to being well. Sounds like it could be awhile until Riley gets back to normal even though he feels okay! Scary! I was afraid to send Maddison back to school for days after she felt better! <BR/><BR/>((HUGS)) you did great catching the lows! I hope they stop!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.com
