Hey, My grandma isn't doing so well right now...shes 80 tomarrow and we went to a party today. We came home to see her sluring her words and babbling on about nothing. She thought she was in the hospital and was sweating alot. She is diabetic and her sugar level should be about 70-80. We came home...and it was 36. Shes not doing well and she just went to the hospital. I'm headed there now with my mom. Please, prayrs would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Todd
 
i will pray for you and you loved ones. oipe everything goes well and she gets better. i know how you fell both my grandma and aunt are diabetic and we are always making sure they are ok and thier suger levels are fine
 
Being a diabetic myself, I do know what it's like to be hypoglycemic. It's kinda scary for most to witness but I am sure that your grandmother will be fine. They will probably get her sugar up to normal levels (mostly done with OJ). If she can't swallow or is in risk of choking, a glucose IV will most probably be used.

Did your grandmother eat prior to her condition? Did she take her meds or over medicate? This is usually the cause or root of a hypoglycemic situation.

Regardless, my thoughts and prayers are with her and your family. Godspeed.
 
I overreacted. We went to a party for about 3 hours and we came home and she was on the bed as I said before. She had eaten lunch but had a stomach ach and forced herself to eat. She didn't eat supper and sure enough that was the problem. The paramedics said about an hours or so more and we could be arranging a funeral. She takes some kind of insolen that she takes only once a day, in the morning. The docter said that if you don't eat, then that sort of insolin can be trouble. She recommended we get short lived insolin instead and we probally will, since my grandmothers appetite is off and on. Anyways, shes okay and I have never gone through this so I paniced. We're going to monitor how much she eats more now though. Thanks a bunch for your prayers and my god be with you(Or whoever you worship.)

Thanks a bunch,
Todd
 
You're welcome Todd. Since your grandmother is older, yes monitoring should be increased. I am glad all is well. I too have gone low on my blood sugar and it was all my own doing.

Some signs to watch out for when your grandmother is starting to get low on bloodsugar:

  • cold sweats
  • clammy hands/skin
  • light headedness
  • loss of dexterity
  • the shakes

These are the most common symptoms but the condition can become more rapid with activity.

The shakes are usually the first to become evident. After that, it goes down hill fairly fast.
 
Most of those can also be signs of a stroke, too. Todd mentioned the slurred words and before I was finished reading the thread I thought, Darn, poor lady was having a stroke.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, My prayers will be with her. Just try to comfort her as much as possible :)

My mom is a nurse and knows all the symtoms of a stroke...when we first saw her on her bed the wrong way and her slurring words, we thought she had a stroke. We were extremely worried until the paramedics got there and they gave her a strait shot of sugar. We were so relieved when we figured that out, but when your sugar is supposed to be from 70-100 and it's 30, it's scary for your loved ones. Thanks all who care about my personal life...i'm glad most of you are religious.

Thanks,
Todd
