Re: Re: A question about NPO - le

Hi le,

Since sweating is listed as a " symptom " of RSS, I've found that most Drs

seem to ignore it in our kids. BUT sweating is also a symptom of low blood

sugar.

The blue MAGIC Pamphlet states that " A young SGA child should NEVER be

fasted or kept NPO for more than 4 hours for ANY reason without

glucose-running IV "

As Jodi Z. said, if your son has never had any problems with hypo-g, then I

would make sure his is FULL at the 4 hour mark, and feed him as soon as

possible after the test. Would the Drs be willing to do period tests for

BS??? Test him every 30 minutes to an hour, to see where his BS sits?? This

would ensure that they would know if it was falling??

Just some ideas. Hope this helps.
