Well Hubby got diagnosed with diabetes, and is on insulin. He spent in the hospital Thursday through Monday night late. He's home and doing well now, but he's a "Sundowner" as the day goes on he get tired and pretty confused mentally. He gets insulin 4 times a day and his sugar is running between 170 to 140 so far. He did have a bad drop one day and it was 106, and the poor thing was shaking so bad so he ate an apple. Plus he ate a tangerine, between the two that helped a lot for him.
Anyone have any ideas or things they help on things he can eat I will be very grateful.
I've had my hands even more full now with this happening and it's not been easy but I am committed. It's hard when he get confused because he argue's with me over dosage or which kind he's supposed to get. Makes it very frustrating for me, but that's life with
hubby.
Just bare with me please, as it's hard to get time to come on here... and I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for reading.
Hugs,
Terresa

Have you been to a diabetic clinic??for education, I am a type 2 diabetic and I took a course, they teach you how to read a lable, proper portions and types of food, like sweet potatoes are better than white!!and what I learned everything has sugar in it, even plain yogurt (because milk contains sugar). It is really tough but I dropped my sugars down to almost half of what they had been. Take care, Happy Holidays, Joanne
