RE: GOT A Q FOR YOU FOLKS.

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark, and Nedra,

She doesn't need to be too concerned about being sick from a blood sugar point

of view. If she misses some meals, it's not nearly as complicated as it is with

a T1 diabetic. A T2 will have to confirm this, but she can probably skip her

oral medication if she is not eating.

Can she suck on ice cubes for some liquid intake? Might want to call the

doctor's office about this one.

GOT A Q FOR YOU FOLKS.

MY WIFE IS A TYPE 2 DIABETIC LIKE SOME OF US ARE. SHE IS SICK WITH A HEAD COLD

I THINK, BUT SHE HAS GOT SICK AND THREW UP TWICE TO DAY. I HEARD OR READ THAT

THROWING UP FOR A DIABETIC CAN BE A VERY BAD THING IF YOU DO IT TO MUCH. THIS

THROWING UP THING IS SOME THING SHE ALWAYS DOES WHEN SHE GETS SICK, BUT SHE

FOUND OUT A YEAR BACK SHE IS A TYPE 2 DIABETIC. SHE CAN'T EAT BECAUSE NOTHING

WILL STAY DOWN. NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO KEEP MY EYE ON OR HOW WOULD I KNOW IF SHE

WAS GETTING DEHYDRATED FROM THE THROWING UP? SHE CAN'T EVEN TAKE A PILL FOR THE

HEAD COLD BECAUSE SHE WILL TOSS HER COOKIES. WILL APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU

CAN GIVE ME. THANKS AND GOD BLESS. HER NAME IS NEDRA AND SHE IS A PART OF THE

LIST AND READS EVERYTHING WHEN YOU GUYS POST.

Mark,

First, call her doctor. Second, you can tell when a person is getting

dehydrated by pinching the skin her forearm. If the skin stays in the pinch

position for more than a few seconds, it means she is getting dehydrated.

It can really screw up the diabetes if you get dehydrated-not as bad for

type 2's as for type one.
