Low Blood Glucose

Kristan is resting quietly at the Littleton Hospital ER. She had numerous low blood glucose events, at home overnight, not sure why. We barely gave her any insulin for a 300 BG before going to bed. Then gave her tons of carbs, trying to get it up, and it was very balky, staying low most of the night. She had a make up Dialysis very early this morning, and when BG was very low coming off dialysis, and not responding to treatment, they called paramedics who transported her here. She mentioned that she had fallen in the last 48 hours, and her head and nose hurt, so they are getting an X-ray and a CT scan.

Update 8pm: Doc said no surprises in X-ray or CT. BG seemed stable, so they sent us home. Yay. Mandy was very happy to see us, after holing up in K's closet all day. She wouldn't go out with Lorene, but jumped at the opportunity, once I got home.
