Isaac's glucoses have been on the high side the last 24 hours. He's just had his first dose of regular insulin (versus the long acting Lantus) since he's been home. It's specially diluted for him from the pharmacy.
On the one hand, sugars too high prevent him from growing, can cause dehydration because he wets so much, and he loses electrolytes in his urine. When his blood glucose gets too low it can cause seizures and shock. Thankfully we haven't been there yet...
It's a precarious balance.
