No matter how many times I said I was fine and she's said she feels fine, our parents hear "surgery" and FREAK. However, this condition with my sister has taken a backseat. About an hour ago, my mom told me that NephewCG was diagnosed with both diabetes and pneumonia today. The latter we can handle but diabetes at age 13 is going to be really hard on him. 2012 hasn't really been awesome for the whole family. |
About your nephew - does he have pneumonia frequently? Has he had high blood sugars before the steroids? How high have his blood sugars been running?
Non-diabetics can get high sugars while on steroids, but they don't tend to go sky-high.
If he has had high sugar readings without steroids, and while healthy, that's another issue.
I am just wondering. I am diabetic due to Cystic Fibrosis, and going on steroids send my sugars above 600ml if I don't use a ton of insulin.
Good luck to you, your mom and nephew.
And good luck to everyone else here. I have a prayer list that update and it seems like now is a good time to update it! I believe in the power of prayer!!
