Hi all,
Over the past while, we've slowly gotten Dundee's blood sugar under control to the point where it would appear (touch wood!) that he is in remission. He has not needed insulin for more than two weeks now!
I have a question though.. Over the past couple of days, his pre-meal blood sugar has been down to values in the 80's and this morning it was down to 76! As well, 4 hours after eating last night, his blood sugar was only in the 90s. I realize it's still at the low end of normal, but it freaks me out a bit because his blood sugar has never been so low before. Without any insulin being given to him, could it ever be possible for him to become hypoglycemic? The only other health issue he has right now, to our knowledge (and he had routine bloodwork done recently) is that he's got some teeth that need removing. He's 18 years old. Thanks for any advice or reassurance!
