Re: Testing euipment for hypoglycemia

[Guest guest]

Hi

The inexpensive way to start looking for hypo g, would be to test

their urine overnight with a ketostick, before hypog they will

have ketones in her urine.

You should be able to buy them at the chemist. Stick a cotton ball in

her nappy(diaper) and when its wet dab it on the ketostick.

If she is sweating and has ketones overnight in her urine, then you

should get the glucometre and check her blood sugar.

Liam has always sweat alot at night even though he has a pump feeding

him all night, he doesnt show ketones(unless he hasnt been fed or is

sick) so we dont use the glucometre.

Just another idea to try!!

Good luck and let us know how you go.
