His runs very low- 130 the very highest he has had! He had 2 spells at work- had to go get a dr's release to return to work- doctor wants to run test sends him to another doctor for test- went to him yesterday- has to go back next week for the test-still not back to work!!! Grrrrrrrrrr!They are worried about seizers- i WILL BET IT IS HIS BLOODSUGAR GOING TO LOW! Now he makes 30.00 an hour And will have missed 3 weeks of work at 60 hours a week- 20 hours overtime- because- they just can't do the test and let him go back to work!! I know what low blood sugar can do and how it can make you feel! I take up to 5 shots of insulin a day! If I do not eat enough after a shot- MY bloodsugar is going low! I have really high BS- so if mine gets down to 100- I start feeling shaky! People get confused,staggering,shaky, slurred speech,the list goes on and on! And people with no medical problems can get this too-just more exercise can use up all the sugar, and make it go low! Then the shakes,ect..... Some people with low BS are thought to be drunk- one case they arrested a man, put him in a county jail for the night- he was dead the next Am! He was diabetic- had low BS was not treated, and died! They thought he was drunk! Low Blood sugar can happen to anyone, anything, anytime!
I think you are right- your puppy probably has low blood sugar- it can give symtems of so many other things-it even confuses the doctors! |
