What a week

What a stressful week. K has only been home since Saturday the 10th, and has already had four days of off-scale-high blood glucose (BG), Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We brought it down each time, with multiple large insulin injections over the course of the day, until it finally came back on scale, and then it would jump back up the next night. I suspect late night eating while I was sleeping. She went for so long with terrible hospital food, that I think she was inhaling the good food we had at home. Then she went low at 4am this morning, after trying to get more aggressive about BG management, and taking insulin for food she hadn't eaten yet, and never did eat. She didn't wake me up until it was getting bad, so before I got it under control with apple juice, she went into some of those jerky spasms we had seen at the hospital, when they really let her BG crash. Her caregiver texted that K just told the dialysis folks she had a seizure this morning (not true), and now they don't want to dialyze her. Heavy sigh...

Update a half hour later: Things are looking up. The dialysis nurse has decided to dialyze her after all. She had already decided, before I called and gave her the entire story from the previous hospital stay that *did* include a seizure.
