Chat to Pat and Jen - Re Matt and Hypo G

[Guest guest]

Thanks all! Jen, I want to run the test. Last week he had a classic

episode when he asked for gummy worms late afternoon. He had just

gotten his palate expander out and he wanted the snack he couldn't

have while the thing was in. So he ate about 12 gummy worms and then

within an hour, he was impossible! It is like his bs goes sky high,

then his insulin kicks in and bottoms him out. So I really want to

examine it and see for sure what is going on.

Pat - thanks for the info about the fasting, but it sounds like it is

a test that Dr. H may be interested in knowing the results so I am

going to try to get it done before convention, and before moving, and

hopefully another scope, and vacation bible school and, and, and. Ha

Ha, I know you know how that all goes!!!
