Blood sugar question

[Guest guest]

Hi all, had to go no-mail there for a few days while vacationing with

in-laws - it's impossible to read this list in digest on a Blackberry .

Those of you who know me know that sleep has been a major issue for me

for weeks. My pdoc temporarily solved the problem for me by putting

me on a very low dose of Seroquel which is doing the trick pretty

nicely. However, Seroquel comes with the risk of messing with one's

BS. I've looked at a couple of fasting BSs since starting it one week

ago and they've been high 77s, low 80s, including today - 77 fasting

and 82 two hours after eating a breakfast of a protein bar and a small

glass of OJ. I just checked another about 2 1/2 hours after a meal of

rice noodles with chicken and 1/2 hour after a snack of a few apple

slices with almond butter and it's 130. Is that normal or something

to be alarmed about? My pdoc said that Seroquel has been known to push

people into diabetes, but that it happens at much higher doses than I

am on - hundreds of mgs while I am on 25. She said that it would be

very rare for someone on a dose as low as me to have that problem.

Thanks,
