Brittle Diabetic - to Scot

[Guest guest]

Scot,

My diabetes was diagnosed as " brittle " after my diabetic

ketoacidosis attack last March. I wasn't diabetic before this

happened., but we found out my blood glucose had been as

high as 1,000 and in that range for over three months prior to the

attack. A brittle diabetic is a person who experiences

unpredictable, out of proportion rises and falls in blood glucose,

within short periods of time as a result of very small deviation

from schedule.

As you can understand, it can be very frustrating to control.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
